Title
Pea Ridge: Civil War Campaign in the West - Paperback
by William L. Shea (Author), Earl J. Hess (Author)
The 1862 battle of Pea Ridge in northwestern Arkansas was one of the largest Civil War engagements fought on the western frontier, and it dramatically altered the balance of power in the Trans-Mississippi. This study of the battle is based on research in archives from Connecticut to California and includes a pioneering study of the terrain of the sprawling battlefield, as well as an examination of soldiers' personal experiences, the use of Native American troops, and the role of Pea Ridge in regional folklore.

"With its exhaustive research and lively prose style, this military study is virtually a model work of its kind." -- Publishers Weekly

"Offers the rich tactical detail, maps, and order of battle that military scholars love but retains a very readable style combined with liberal use of recollections of the troops and leaders involved." -- Library Journal
"This book is assured of a place among the best of all studies that have been published on Civil War campaigns." -- American Historical Review
"Destined to become a Civil War classic and a model for writing military history." -- Civil War History
"A campaign study of a caliber that all should strive for and few will equal." -- Journal of American History
