Summary
"In this detailed new study, authors Gene Thorp and Alexander Rossino document exhaustively how 'Little Mac' rapidly reorganized his army, advanced on Frederick with more speed than previously thought, and then moved with uncharacteristic energy to counter the Confederate threat and take advantage of Lee's divided forces. The Tale Untwisted is a beautifully woven tapestry of primary research that proposes to put a final word on the debate over the fate and impact of the Lost Orders on the history of the 1862 Maryland Campaign"-- Provided by publisher.
