Timothy B. Smith

Iron Dice of Battle & Bayou Battles of Vicksburg

Airdate: 11/29/2023 @ 3:30 PM CST At Abraham Lincoln Bookshop

Timothy B. Smith joins Abraham Lincoln Bookshop on A House Divided to talk about his two latest books, The Iron Dice of Battle: Albert Sidney Johnston and the Civil War in the West, and Bayou Battles of Vicksburg: The Swamp and River Expeditions January 1-April 30 1863.

The first work to survey Albert Sidney Johnston’s life in detail in nearly sixty years, The Iron Dice of Battle builds on recent scholarship to provide a new and incisive assessment of Johnston’s life, his Confederate command, and the effect his death had on the course of the Civil War in the West.

In Bayou Battles for Vicksburg, the latest volume in his five-volume history of the Vicksburg Campaign of the US Civil War,  Smith offers the first book-length examination of Ulysses S. Grant’s winter waterborne attempts to capture the Confederate stronghold of Vicksburg, Mississippi.

The show can be seen November 29th at 4:30 EST on the bookshop facebook page
