Despite its important role in the early years of the Civil War, the Army of the Ohio remains one of the least studied of all Union commands. Gerald Prokopowicz offers an engaging history of the army from its formation in 1861 to its costly triumph at Shiloh and its failure at Perryville in 1862. Prokopowicz shows how the amateur soldiers who formed the Army of the Ohio organized themselves into individual regiments of remarkable strength and cohesion.
