Dee Brown
Grierson's Raid
Paperback
(Curtis Books March 15, 1954)
The book has a library sticker on the spine, and contains university library stamps and a pocket. The book reads like a novel: a lively day-by-day detailed account of the 17 days the raid lasted. It put a fairly small band of Union soldiers deeper into the heart of Confederate territory than any had been before, as part of the complicated military maneuverings that won Vicksburg for the Union side. Each chapter begins with a b/w drawing related to the action described in it.
