The Mobile & Ohio Railroad, a remarkable engineering feat, reached its full length in the spring of 1861, just a few weeks after Confederate artillery bombarded Fort Sumter. Within days, this vital transportation network became embroiled in the Civil War, serving as a crucial conduit for troops and supplies, a strategic asset to both Confederate and Union armies. The M&O's northern terminus in Columbus, Kentucky, witnessed some of the earliest clashes of the war, while its southern terminus in Mobile, Alabama, played host to some of the final confrontations. Prominent figures such as U. S. Grant, William T. Sherman, Nathan Bedford Forrest, Newton Knight of the Free State of Jones, and others engaged in fierce battles over the M&O, with the Federal forces gradually gaining control mile by mile. This captivating book delves into the campaigns and battles fought for the railroad, as well as the hardships endured by the civilians who lived along its path.
