The book you mention, "The Battle of Pickett’s Mill: Foredoomed to Oblivion" is not recommended as a source for historical information. Much of the book is riddled with inaccuracies and the cited sources are questionable. For information regarding the Battle of Pickett's Mill, we recommend the website, http://pickettsmillpark.org. The site newly refreshed in 2005 and the information gathered from personal journals, memoirs, and letters from those who fought in the battle make the website one of the best sources. Other sources would be the "Campaign for Atlanta: William R. Scaife" and "Decision in the West: Albert E. Castel” Each book offers a different take on the battle. <BR/><BR/>Thanks, <BR/><BR/>SteveTree Climbing History Buffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01754326388549834630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6756884306012466304.post-47849638917116072972007-11-19T16:51:00.000-05:002007-11-19T16:51:00.000-05:00Drew,No, I'm not familiar with it either.

I'll let you know what I think when I have it.<BR/><BR/>PaulPaul Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338586236962291817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6756884306012466304.post-67739511464897099792007-11-19T12:51:00.000-05:002007-11-19T12:51:00.000-05:00Thanks, Paul.

It continues to amaze that none of the battles of the Atlanta campaign have received full book length treatment (there are some short overviews, like Kennesaw and Resaca). I hope they do reprint it. Do you know anything of its quality?DW@CWBAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00018056113264346047noreply@blogger.com
