"""This guide is a MUST HAVE for anyone wanting to learn about the Battle of Nashville and wanting to tour the battlefield. I highly recommend it. For those who think Nashville is a lost battlefield, this guide disproves that notion."" Edwin C. Bearss, Historian Emeritus of the National Park Service and the nation's preeminent Civil War tour guide. ""As owner of HistoryAmerica Tours I have read literally hundreds of tour guides and this is one of the best I've ever seen!"" Pete Brown ""The book combines brief background narratives with detailed battle accounts, all illustrated with photographs and many battle maps created for this project and not available elsewhere. This guide is more than an ordinary history book, however. It includes a tour designed to peel back the present urban and suburban development to expose occupied and fortified Nashville and the battles for it."" The Nashville Scene ""The work includes more than statistics. A narrative tells the story of Nashville's occupants, military and civilian, black and white. The tour explores sites important to the period of Union occupation of the town as well as the climactic Battle of Nashville in late 1864. Numerous maps were created for this publication, which includes large numbers of period photographs, some never before published and others just stunningly obscure. Civil War Interactive"
