As Luck Would Have It: Chance And Coincidence In The Civil War is a historical book written by Otto Eisenschiml. The book explores the role of chance and coincidence in the American Civil War. Eisenschiml argues that the outcome of the war was not solely determined by military strategy and political maneuvering, but was also heavily influenced by chance events and coincidences. The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of the war, such as battles, political events, and individual stories. Eisenschiml uses a variety of sources, including diaries, letters, and official records, to illustrate his points. Throughout the book, Eisenschiml provides examples of how chance and coincidence played a role in the war. For example, he discusses how a stray bullet killed Confederate General Stonewall Jackson, how a lost copy of General Lee's battle plans fell into Union hands, and how a Union soldier found a copy of General Grant's orders before the Battle of Shiloh. As Luck Would Have It: Chance And Coincidence In The Civil War is a fascinating look at the role of chance in history. Eisenschiml's writing is engaging and informative, and the book is a must-read for anyone interested in the Civil War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
