The Western War

THE WESTERN WAR

The 1864 Project is a limited series about the consequential decisions and events that shaped outcomes and affected lives during a pivotal year in the American Civil War. 

On this episode, we're joined by Steven E. Woodworth, professor of history at Texas Christian University and author of a number of books about the Civil War, including Six Armies in Tennessee: The Chickamauga and Chattanooga Campaigns and Manifest Destinies: Westward Expansion and the Civil War. We talked about the war’s oft-overlooked western theater in 1864, with a focus on how the decisions made by Union and Confederate leadership affected outcomes on the battlefield.

Welcome to The 1864 Project. We hope you’ll join us.
