Title: A terrific book on a overlooked battle
Product review: Paul Taylor has done a tremendous job in presenting this over looked but extremely important battle that too often gets caught up as a one or two paragraph afterthought of the Second Manassas Campaign.Taylor offers a good narrative in explaining the significance of the action here.Prior to reading this book I knew very little about General Issac Stevens decisivness and bravery that day,and how his actions probably saved Pope further destruction. I particularly liked that he tells you the modern highway designations of the ninetenth century roads. This helps the reader understand and follow the scope of the action as sadly,as the Author points out, the Battlefield has been obliterated by Urban Sprawl and is no longer recognizable. He has also added some rare photo's throughout.
