Don Carlos Buell

Focusing on Major General Don Carlos Buell's significant yet overlooked role in the early years of the Civil War, the book delves into his leadership of the Army of the Ohio and his influence in the crucial Kentucky theater from 1861 to 1862. Despite being one of the prominent Northern commanders, Buell remains the only major general from this era without a comprehensive biography, highlighting the need for a deeper exploration of his contributions to the conflict's direction.
