Specificatii
The XI Corps served in the Army of the Potomac for just twelve
months (September 1862-August 1863), during which it played a
pivotal role in the critical battles of Chancellorsville and
Gettysburg. Thereafter, the corps hastened westward to reinforce a
Union army in besieged Chattanooga, and marched through brutal
December weather without adequate clothing, shoes, or provisions to
help rescue a second Northern army under siege in Knoxville,
Tennessee. Despite its sacrifices in the Eastern campaigns and
successes in Tennessee, the reputation of the XI Corps is one of
cowardice and failure. James S. Pula sets the record straight in
his two-volume study Under the Crescent Moon: The XI Corps in the
American Civil War, 1862-1864. Under the Crescent Moon (a reference
to the crescent badge assigned to the corps) is the first study of
this misunderstood organization. The first volume, From the
Defenses of Washington to Chancellorsville, opens with the
organization of the corps and a lively description of the men in
the ranks, the officers who led them, the regiments forming it, and
the German immigrants who comprised a sizable portion of the corps.
Once this foundation is set, the narrative flows briskly through
the winter of 1862-63 on the way to the first major campaign at
Chancellorsville. Although the brunt of Stonewall Jackson's flank
attack fell upon the men of the XI Corps, the manner in which they
fought and many other details of that misunderstood struggle are
fully examined here for the first time, and at a depth no other
study has attempted. Pula's extraordinary research and penetrating
analysis offers a fresh interpretation of the Chancellorsville
defeat while challenging long-held myths about that fateful field.
The second volume, From Gettysburg to Victory, offers seven
chapters on the XI Corps at Gettysburg, followed by a rich
exploration of the corps' participation in the fighting around
Chattanooga, the grueling journey into Eastern Tennessee in the
dead of
