{"product_id":"fort-pillow-massacre-paperback","title":"Fort Pillow Massacre - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eUnknown\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a bluff above the Mississippi, a single afternoon in April 1864 rewrote the moral map of the American Civil War. The questions still burn on. Fort Pillow Massacre gathers the contemporary record of a Tennessee Civil War tragedy in which African American Union soldiers and their white officers were overwhelmed and many were killed after the fort fell. Presented as military history nonfiction with the immediacy of testimony, it offers a complete historical account built from official documentation and an eyewitness accounts collection, charting what happened, what was alleged, and how the nation argued over responsibility. Read it for civil war history, but also for the sharper theme of civil war racial violence: the collision between emancipation, battlefield law, and the politics of memory. For civil war research and American history coursework, the narrative is a primary window into how evidence was gathered, weighed, and contested in real time. It is equally valuable to readers pursuing a Nathan Bedford Forrest biography, tracing how his name became entwined with a 1864 wartime atrocity that still shapes debates about command and culpability. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today -- a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For the casual reader it is stark, fast, and unforgettable; for the classic-literature collector it is an essential documentary artefact of American history. A rare, unsparing record of war, law, and conscience, preserved in print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 174\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 22, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45257285533747,"sku":"9789354502644","price":70.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/2191\/6467\/files\/KT58zTd0ep9789354502644.webp?v=1793674341","url":"https:\/\/thereadinghousebookcompany.com\/products\/fort-pillow-massacre-paperback","provider":"The Reading House Book Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
