In Heroes of the Great Conflict, James Harrison Wilson pays tribute to one of the Civil War's most accomplished and yet often overlooked heroes. William Farrar Smith's leadership and strategic vision played a critical role in some of the war's most significant battles, and Wilson's detailed account of his life and service is a fitting testament to his contribution to the cause of freedom.
