| The North's second most powerful army, after the larger Army of the Potomac, is evaluated in Larry J. Daniel's Days of Glory. It is the first in-depth study of the army in over a century. Contemporaries wrote the last full histories (see Henry M. Cist, Army of the Cumberland, 1883; and Thomas B. Van Horne, History of the Army of the Cumberland, 1875). A central theme in Daniel's study is the ineffective leadership and political infighting of all five of the Army of the Cumberland commanders. |
