Book excerpt: This book is about Confederate innovation as they fought the Civil War. Stretching a chain across the Mississippi River from Columbus, Kentucky to stop river boats is a masterful concept. While the story of the chain is fascinating, you will also read of the first battle of General U.S.Grant when he attacks the Confederates encamped at Belmont, Missouri. This Confederate camp was known as Camp Johnson. In addition, you will read of the Lady Polk. She was the largest cannon the Union army had.
