TOPIC:  In Force of a Cyclone: The Battle of Stones River, authors Caroline Davis and Bert Dunkerly explore a significant turning point of the Civil War, and one that had the highest percentage of casualties on both sides of any Civil War battle. 

Lincoln himself would often look back on the fragile New Year’s Day and ponder all that was at stake.  “I can never forget whilst I remember anything,” he told Federal commander Major General William S. Rosecrans, “that about the end of last year and the beginning of this, you gave us a hard-earned victory, which had there been a defeat instead the nation could scarcely have lived over.”
