Vol. 2 - From Gettysburg to Victory

Speaker: James S. Pula

This presentation picks up from volume one and discusses in detail how the XI Corps operated at Gettysburg, followed by a rich exploration of the corps’ participation in the fighting around Chattanooga, the grueling journey into Eastern Tennessee in the dead of winter, and its role in the Knoxville Campaign. Once the corps’ two divisions are broken up in early 1864 to serve elsewhere, Pula follows their experiences through to the war’s successful conclusion. This is a comprehensive personalized portrait of the men who fought in the “unlucky” XI Corps and characterizes them as good soldiers unworthy of the stigma that has haunted them to this day.
