308 The Winter of Our Discontent: The Battles in East Tennessee from December 1863 - March 1864
History | Available (Membership Required)
After Longstreet’s defeat at Fort Sanders, he left Knoxville and moved into upper East Tennessee for the winter. What ensues was four months of a constant search for food and forage interspersed with battles, both large and small, that drug civilians into the conflict. The bitterness of those months is still felt today.
