Military Reminiscences of the Civil War

THIS IS A DOWNLOADABLE E-BOOK. In the midst of the severest suffering of the army from cold and want, General Grant came in person to inspect the condition of affairs in East Tennessee. He reached Knoxville on the 30th of December, and after spending two or three days with General Foster, came up to Strawberry Plains. The first intensity of the cold wave had passed by, but it was still "zero weather" when he came: indeed he had waited in Knoxville for a little moderating of the temperature, but finding that it continued very cold, his desire to complete the inspection hurried him on.Cox, Jacob Dolson is the author of 'Military Reminiscences of the Civil War', published 2004 under ISBN 9781419234316 and ISBN 1419234315.
