The book provides a detailed and graphic description of the massacre, which saw Confederate troops, under the command of General Nathan Bedford Forrest, attack and kill hundreds of Union soldiers, including African American troops and white officers who had surrendered. The massacre was widely condemned by the Union and sparked outrage across the country.The Joint Committee On The Conduct And Expenditures Of The War conducted an investigation into the incident, and the book includes the testimony of witnesses, as well as letters and reports from military officials. The book also provides a broader context of the Civil War and the issues of slavery and race that were at the heart of the conflict.Overall, the Fort Pillow Massacre is a significant historical document that sheds light on one of the most brutal and controversial incidents of the American Civil War. It provides a detailed and sobering account of the violence and racism that characterized the conflict and its aftermath.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
