The Civil War's Last Campaign
Wittenberg. One of the most important but least known engagements of Sherman's Carolinas Campaign was the Battle of Monroe's Crossroads, which was fought on March 10, 1865. This narrative describes how the Confederate cavalry's surprise attack on General Kilpatrick's troops stopped the Union advance and bought another day for General Hardee to evacuate Fayettville and join Johnston for the climactic fight at Bentonville nine days later. 366 pages, 50 photographs and illustrations, 28 maps, 6"x 9", hardcover. #0C11457
