Synopsis

A detailed military history of the Mobile Campaign

This installment covers strategic planning, siege operations, and the clash between Union and Confederate forces around Mobile Bay. Drawing on official records and contemporary sources, it reveals how leaders organized, fought, and adapted during the siege of Spanish Fort and the assaults on Blakely and nearby fortifications. A focus on both land and naval actions helps readers understand how this theater shaped the broader Civil War chronicle.

• Learn how forces were organized and moved, including Canby’s command and the Sixteenth and Thirteenth Corps’ roles.
• Explore sieges, fortifications, and casualty patterns, with attention to artillery, mining, and trench warfare.
• See the interplay between Army operations and naval action, including torpedo threats and riverine mobility.
• Get context from the author’s perspective on strategy, logistics, and the challenges of coordinating multi‑branch campaigns.

Ideal for readers of Civil War military history, operational campaigns, and readers seeking a clear view of the Mobile theatre’s significance in the broader conflict.
