This revised edition, originally published in 2004, is a result of Morgan's discovery of information not previously seen in his initial research, thus allowing him to provide greater details and insight into the Ball's Bluff story. The 2-day battles of Ball's Bluff and Edwards Ferry were fought just six months after the onset of the Civil War, and were considered the greatest defeats of the Union cause. New incidents, statistics, maps and stories are included in this already thorough and well-told account of this tragic and politically charged period in history. Distributed by Casemate.
