Torrent description

UPLOADERS NOTE - The complete 3-volume set by Blackstone Audio consists of 104 discs. I ripped it using EAC burst mode, copy-and-test. Additionally, the original recorded books version (which is already here on WHAT) is a damaged transfer from audiotape version - they never offered that one on CD. The old version, however, DID come with excellent maps hand drawn by Shleby Foote, which I have included in this torrent. Also, due to Pirate Bay file restrictions, I have had to RAR this. You wuill just have to trust that a Green Skull isnt blowing one past you. - Rambam1776 Shelby Foote - The Civil War: A Narrative (Vols. I-III, complete) Unabridged, V8 VBR, Read by Grover Gardner http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Civil_War:_A_Narrative The Civil War: A Narrative (19581974) is a three volume, 2,968-page, 1.2 million-word history of the American Civil War by Shelby Foote. Although previously known as a novelist, Foote is most famous for this non-fictional narrative history. While it touches on political and social themes, the main thrust of the work is military history. The individual volumes include Fort Sumter to Perryville (1958), Fredericksburg to Meridian (1963), and Red River to Appomattox (1974). Writing On the strength of his novel Shiloh, Random House asked Foote for a short Civil War history. Foote soon realized that the project would require much more time and energy. Random House agreed, and using the money from his 1955 Guggenheim Fellowship (Foote won Guggenheims also in 1956 and 1959), Foote set out to write the trilogys first volume, Fort Sumter to Perryville. This 400,000-word account was published in 1958. By 1963 Foote had finished the second volume, Fredericksburg to Meridian. In 1964 he began Volume 3, Red River to Appomattox, but found himself repeatedly distracted by the ongoing events in the nation and was not able to finish and publish it until 1974. Writing the third volume took as many years as had the first two combined. Fort Sumter to Perryville The first volume covers the roots of the war to the Battle of Perryville on October 8, 1862. All the significant battles are here, from Bull Run through Shiloh, the Seven Days Battles, Second Bull Run to Antietam, and Perryville in the fall of 1862, but so are the smaller and often equally important engagements on both land and sea: Balls Bluff, Fort Donelson, Pea Ridge, Island No. Ten, New Orleans, Monitor versus Merrimac, and Stonewall Jacksons Valley Campaign. Fredericksburg to Meridian The second volume is dominated by the almost continual confrontation of great armies. The starting point for this volume is the Battle of Fredericksburg, fought on December 13, 1862, between General Robert E. Lees Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of the Potomac commanded by Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside. For the fourth time, the Army of the Potomac attempts to take Richmond, resulting in the bloodbath at Fredericksburg. Then Joseph Hooker tries again, only to be repulsed at Chancellorsville as Stonewall Jackson turns his flank, resulting in Jacksons mortal wounding. In the West, one of the most complex and determined sieges of the war has begun. Here, Ulysses S. Grants seven relentless efforts against Vicksburg demonstrate Lincolns and Grants determination. With Vicksburg finally under siege, Lee again invades the North. The three-day conflict at Gettysburg receives significant coverage. (The lengthy chapter on Gettysburg has also been published as a separate book, Stars in Their Courses: The Gettysburg Campaign, JuneJuly 1863; his account of Vicksburg was published separately as The Beleaguered City: The Vicksburg Campaign, December 1862 July 1863.) Red River to Appomattox The final volume opens with the beginning of the two final, major confrontations of the war: Grant against Lee in Virginia, and Sherman pressing Johnston in north Georgia in 1864. The narrative describes the events and battles from Shermans March to the Sea to Lincolns assassination and the surrender of Lee at Appomattox.-------------------------------------Torrent downloaded from http://thepiratebay.se
