Summary "The Battle of Stone River" by Henry Myron Kendall is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a detailed examination of the Battle of Stone River, focusing on military strategies, troop movements, and the dynamics between Union and Confederate forces during the American Civil War. It highlights the complexities of leadership decisions and military logistics in a critical period of the war. The narrative chronicles the events leading up to the battle, notably the movements of Union General William S. Rosecrans and Confederate General Braxton Bragg. It details the tactical maneuvers employed by both sides, the challenges faced by the Union army due to communication issues and deficiencies in cavalry, and the ultimately disastrous consequences of McCook's failure to hold his position on the right flank. Despite significant losses, the Union emerged victorious as Bragg retreated after the battle, a shift that marked a critical moment in the campaign for control over Tennessee. The book closes by noting the subsequent inactivity of both armies, setting the stage for future encounters, particularly the Battle of Chickamauga. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
