Description: THE MARCH TO THE SEA – FRANKLIN AND NASHVILLE BY JACOB D. COX, LL.D. Late Major-General Commanding Twenty-Third Army Corps FIRST EDITION FINE CONDITION Original, Sharp, Bright, Clean, Solidly Bound, Antique Book Handsome, Decorative Cover Design; Contains 10 Battle Maps and 6 Appendices Written by a Participant in the Campaigns; Fully Indexed PUBLISHED BY THE CHARLES SCRIBNER’S SONS, NEW YORK, IN 1882 Often hailed as a stroke of military genius, General William T. Sherman's decision to divide his command and his subsequent, infamous march through the interior of Georgia to the Atlantic coast inaugurated the final phase of the war. General Jacob D. Cox (1828-1900) played key roles in most of the decisive action that followed. Left with Generals Schofield and Thomas to delay Hood’s advance, Cox led hi men through the night and at Spring Hill; he supervised the construction of the fortifications that proved so effective against Hood’s assaulting columns at Franklin; at Nashville his division joined the attack on the crucial Confederate position at Shy’s Hill; and later he finished his service with Sherman in North Carolina. It was Cox’s self-professed qualities of “a bold heart, a color, and practical common-sense” that subsequently earned him the command of the entire Twenty-Third Corps and the rank of major general. After the war, Cox applied those same attributes to his books, Sherman’s Battle for Atlanta, and Sherman’s March to the Sea. If readers are seeking concise, astute and balanced accounts of Sherman’s march to the sea, the burning of Columbia, the bloody battles of Franklin and Nashville, the oft-overlooked assault on Fort fisher and the surrender of Johnston’s Army, Cox’s single volume provides all the scope, detail and color that these critical campaigns demand.
