Description

Major General William "Baldy" Smith remains a complex figure in American Civil War history, remembered for his bravery at Antietam and his criticism of the Union high command. His actions after Fredericksburg led to his demotion, but also earned him recognition for his strategic perspective.

This biography offers a comprehensive look at Smith's life and career, shedding light on his experiences as an officer and engineer during the war. Despite being unpopular with some of his peers, Smith's insight and concern for his men made him a respected field commander.

Through new research and analysis, this book provides a nuanced understanding of Smith's role in the Civil War, challenging prevailing views about his character and legacy.
