Most recently this debate has involved McWhineyand Jamieson's Attack and Die: Civil War Tactics and the Southern Heritage and Hattaway and Jones's How the North Won: A Military History of the Civil War.McWhiney and Jamieson argue that many Civil War leaders, particularly Southerners , learned from their West Point training, Mexican War experiences, and current military manuals that offensive tactics held the key to victory . Hattawayand Jones, however, emphasize the engineering orientation of West Point education and the stress that their instructor Dennis Hart Mahan placed on the use of field fortifications. This, they believed , allowed most Civil War leaders to grasp relatively early the tremendous power of the defensive. 17.

The weather would be better for traveling, and his daughter Mary Anne, born Jan. i, 1860, would be in better condition to make the trip. Once he had left Albuquerque, however , he grew impatient and deposited his family with friends at Fort Bliss so that they could continue the journey at a more comfortable pace. 2. T.J.

This letter indicates that Longstreet arrived in Richmond on June 21, not June 29, as he states in his memoirs; it also indicates that he intended to form a group of mounted infantrymen, notjoin the paymaster's department , as his memoirs indicate. 3.
