Description - The Battle of Marianna, Florida by Dale Cox

The Battle of Marianna, Florida was a small but significant Civil War battle fought in Northwest Florida in 1864. In this critically acclaimed volume, writer and historian Dale Cox tells the story of Gen. Alexander Asboth's 1864 raid that was the deepest penetration of Confederate Florida by Union forces during the entire Civil War. Longer than Sherman's March to the Sea, Asboth's raid culminated at the Battle of Marianna when his forces engaged a ragtag command of Confederate militia, reserves and volunteers. The battle led to a Medal of Honor for a Union officer and allegations of massacre by Confederate survivors. In The Battle of Marianna, Florida, Cox presents the unforgettable story of a forgotten but very real episode of Southern history.
