Our book recommendation for this episode is A Little Short of Boats: The Battles of Ball’s Bluff and Edwards Ferry by James A. Morgan, III.
“Jim Morgan is a masterful writer and military historian. This revised and expanded edition is the definitive account of Ball’s Bluff. His excellent tactical analysis has been augmented with more firsthand accounts, many previously unpublished, that make a good work even better… This is Civil War history at its best.” ~ Ted Alexander, Historian, Antietam National Battlefield
