BELMONT

In which we discuss (among other things) the Battle of Belmont, which took place on November 7, 1861.

Leonidas Polk (1806-1864)

 

Our book recommendation for this episode is The Battle of Belmont: Grant Strikes South by Nathaniel Cheairs Hughes, Jr.

“In this definitive study of U.S. Grant’s first Civil War battle, Nathaniel Hughes has done for Belmont what Wiley Sword did for Shiloh and Peter Cozzens for Stones River.  This is a lively account, as well researched as it is well written.” ~ James I. Robertson
