Summary: "Stone's River: The Turning-Point of the Civil War" by Wilson J. Vance is a historical account written in the early 20th century that focuses on a pivotal battle during the American Civil War, specifically the Battle of Stone's River, which took place from December 31, 1862, to January 2, 1863. This book explores the significant military actions of both the Union and Confederate armies, providing insight into the strategies and decisions that led to what many historians consider the turning point of the war. Vance argues that despite the immediate aftermath resembling a stalemate, the battle had far-reaching implications for the Confederacy's loss of momentum. In "Stone's River," Vance meticulously details the context leading up to the battle, including the political and military landscape of 1862, before describing the encounter itself. The author narrates how Confederate General Braxton Bragg's forces initially gained the upper hand but ultimately failed to secure a decisive victory over General William S. Rosecrans's Army of the Cumberland. As Vance unfolds the event, he emphasizes key figures, pivotal moments, and strategic complexities that shaped the battle's outcome. The book concludes by reflecting on the long-term consequences of the Union’s hard-fought victory at Stone's River, highlighting how it marked the beginning of the end for Confederate hopes of winning the war.
