- Summary
- "On the eve of battle, while the bands of both armies play Home Sweet Home, eighty thousand men join in singing. At dawn, they will set about killing each other." "Five days after Christmas, 1862, in the damp and cold outside Murfreesboro, Tennessee, the men of General William S. Rosecrans's Army of the Cumberland face the Confederate soldiers of General Braxton Bragg's Army of Tennessee." "The Battle of Stones River will last three days. The savage fighting, across the fields and woods of Tennessee, will awaken the best in some men - courage, self-sacrifice, and honor; the worst in others - cruelty, cowardice, depravity. This is the story of those hours and the men who went forth."--BOOK JACKET.
