Disclaimer out of the way: I have no financial interest in this publication, so this isn't an advertisement. I'm trying to spread the word about an awesome resource. I am holding in my hands (and typing <g>) the long-awaited book by David C. Smith, entitled _Campaign_to_Nowhere:_The_Results_of_General_Longstreet's_Move_into_Upper_Ea st_Tennessee_. It is literally hot off the press and would be an ideal Christmas/Hanukkah gift for a wide range of researchers. You may recognize Cleve Smith's name -- he is without peer among Civil War historians in central East Tennessee, with special interest in the events in Jefferson County and its immediately surrounding area. This book, then, has historic value to those researching the Civil War period in Jefferson, Knox, Sevier, Grainger, Hamblen, Cocke, and Hawkins Counties. The book is professionally printed and bound, 8.5" x 11" in size, with 249 pages, 255 pictures, numerous maps/charts/drawings, an index, source notes, a bibliography, and a full-color soft cover depicting artifacts and photographs. The book contains historical accounts, accompanied by Cleve's personal insights after half a lifetime of researching in this area. It also contains anecdotes from descendants of soldiers and the experiences of Cleve and others during on-site surveys. The writing style is engaging, and the material could be read and comprehended by anyone from junior high reading level to adult. There isn't a better published resource for Civil War history specific to this area available anywhere. This was a limited-edition printing of only 500 copies, and nearly 20% were pre-sold. So, you'd better hurry if you want a copy! You may order the book for $25.00, postage-paid, from David C. Smith, 1173 Mountain View Drive, New Market, TN 37820-3817. --part1_0.30a77f49.258f011d_boundary--
