Joiner, Series Editor The University of Tennessee Press / Knoxville Photo of Arthur W. Bergeron courtesy of U.S. Army Military History Institute, Carlisle, PA The Western Theater in the Civil War series seeks to emphasize an emerging trend in the historiography of the nation’s greatest conflict: a more general recognition that events in the West, far from being a sideshow to storied campaigns in the East, were, in many ways, even more decisive in the outcome of the war. Among the works that will be produced are scholarly monographs, biographies of leaders who need reconsideration , and edited collections that present up-to-date scholarship in this rapidly developing field.
