The Confederacy, incensed by what it saw as a crime against nature, sent its fiercest cavalry commander, Nathan Bedford Forrest, to attack the fort with about 1, 500 men. The Confederates overran the fort and drove the Federals into a deadly crossfire. Only sixty-two of the colored Union troops survived the fight unwounded. Many accused the Confederates of massacring the black troops after the fort fell, when fighting should have ceased. The "Fort Pillow Massacre" became a Union rallying cry and cemented resolve to see the war through to its conclusion.Harry Turtledove has written a dramatic re- creation of an astounding battle, telling a bloody story of courage and hope, freedom and hatred. With brilliant characterizations of all the main figures, this is a novel that reminds us that Fort Pillow was more than a battle-it was a clash of ideas between men fighting to define what being an American ought to mean. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Fort Pillow, Battle of, Tenn., 1864|vFiction. 650 0 African American soldiers|vFiction. 651 0 United States|xHistory|yCivil War, 1861-1865 |xParticipation, African American|vFiction. 651 0 Tennessee|xHistory|yCivil War, 1861-1865|vFiction. 655 7 Historical fiction.|2gsafd 655 7 War stories.|2gsafd 700 1 Nelson, John Allen,|d1959- 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 10756760?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781400191390_180.jpeg
