"The Summer of '63: Vicksburg and Tullahoma collects some of our historians' favorite stories, original research, and engaging voices from the historians at Emerging Civil War, anthologized from ECW's blog and podcast, and the annual Emerging Civil War Symposium at Stevenson Ridge. The volume also contains a few original pieces, plus maps and illustrations. When read with its companion volume, The Summer of '63: Gettysburg it contextualizes the events in Mississippi and middle Tennessee with the other great events of the Civil War's turning point summer"-- Provided by publisher.
