Milliken's Bend: A Civil War Battle in History and Memory

Bibliography

Bibliography Although this list includes the vast majority of sources that were most important to my work, it should not be considered a comprehensive listing, particularly for secondary sources. In addition, some works that were cited only once or twice in the notes as supporting information but bear no direct and immediate relationship to the overall story of Milliken’s Bend and emancipation have been omitted from this bibliography in the interest of space.
