A military history, it covers the events leading up to and including the Battle of Fredericksburg (1862) in the American Civil War. Because the author, Edward J. Stackpole (June 21, 1894 – October 1, 1967), was a retired U.S. Army Major General, he wrote it a historical narrative, though some subsequent authorities have added to or superseded his interpretations as access to additional archival records became available over time.
