Short and Concise Jan 02, 2002 Spedale gives a very quick rundown of the Union capture of Baton Rouge in 1862, the Confederate counterattack, and the aftermath. More of a brief engagement than a battle, the back and forth between Union and CSA troops left much of the city in ruins and empty as both sides soon pulled back to more defensible sites. What makes the slim volume quite nice, however, is the myriad pictures that run throughout -- both sketches and photographs from the 1800s and modern photographs of the sites as they are today.
