Description: "Little Short of Boats: The Fights at Ball's Bluff and Edward's Ferry, October 21 - 22, 1861" by James A. Morgan published by Ironglad Publishing 2004 first edition. A masterful account of this Southern victory over the invading Northern invaders. To the victorious Confederates, it was the Battle of Leesburg. The badly beaten Federals named it for the imposing fortress-like rocky precipice on the northern side of the Potomac near Washington DC - Ball's Bluff. Fought three months to the day after First Manassas (Bull Run) and another in a long line of Federal defeats during the first year of the war - the battle was, as author James Morgan puts it, "a reconnaissance mission gone bad." Tight binding, and clean internals, showing no shelf- or edge wear and no price stickers. Volume contains useful bibliography. Illustrated. A very interesting book highly recommended. Appears unread. 308 pages, indexed and with a long list of references. Selling for over $55.00 on other sites in this new unread condition. No remainder marks, not price clipped.
