Keeping the Armies in the Field
Prof. Hess (Lincoln Memorial University) is the author of
Eugene Feit Award for Excellence in Civil War Studies for 2017. In this new, very impressively researched work, he expands upon his earlier work to explore the evolution of the Union’s abilities to use the available means of transportation – rail, river, maritime, animal, foot – to move men and matériel within the quite varied geographic environments encountered during the war, and how this influenced the development of a war winning strategy.
