This original newspaper contains a prominent 15" x 10" front page detailed map of TENNESSEE during the Civil War. Long detailed text description of TENNESSEE at the time of the Civil War. This has a bold banner headline: "THE NEW SEAT OF MILITARY OPERATIONS / Important Military Movements at the SOUTHWEST --THE STRATEGICAL FORTS OF CORINTH AND DECATUR, WHERE THE REBEL GENERALS ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSON AMD BEAUREGARD ARE CONCENTRATING ARMIES, &c., &c." The American Civil War made a huge impact on Tennessee, with large armies constantly destroying its rich farmland, and every county witnessing combat. It was a divided state, with the Eastern counties harboring pro-Union sentiment throughout the conflict, and it was the last state to officially secede from the Union, in protest at Lincoln's call for troops. Although Tennessee provided a large number of troops for the Confederacy, it would also provide more soldiers for the Union Army than any other state within the Confederacy. In February 1862, some of the war's first serious fighting took place along the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers, recognized as major military highways, and mountain passes such as Cumberland Gap were keenly competed-for by both sides. The Battle of Shiloh and the fighting along the Mississippi brought glory to the little-known Ulysses S. Grant, while his area commander Henry Halleck was rewarded with promotion to General-in-Chief. The Tullahoma campaign, led by William Rosecrans, drove the Confederates from Middle Tennessee so quickly that they did not take many casualties, and were strong enough to defeat Rosecrans soon afterwards. At Nashville in December 1864, George Thomas routed the Army of Tennessee under John Bell Hood, the last major battle fought in the state. Good-Very good condition.
