Selected References for the Campaign and Battle of Mill Springs

Compiled by Geoff Walden

Note on the Sources:  The following bibliography contains several rather obscure and hard-to-find resources.   To aid those who wish to read only the most important and comprehensive sources, the following annotated listing is provided.

Myers, Raymond E.
The Zollie Tree. Louisville: The Filson Club Press, 1964 (reprinted 1998 for the Mill Springs Battlefield Assn.).  This is the most comprehensive modern source, with the best use of period references.  This book is the best single source on the campaign and battle.

Kelly, Col. R.M.
"Holding Kentucky for the Union," in Battles and Leaders of The Civil War, Vol. 1.  New York: Thomas Yoseloff, 1956, pp. 373- 392.  Battles & Leaders has been reprinted many times, and is easy to find.  This is an excellent synopsis of the campaign and battle, with the best published map (although it has some inaccuracies).

McMurtry, R. Gerald
"Zollicoffer and the Battle of Mill Springs," Filson Club Historical Quarterly, Vol. 29, No. 4 (Oct. 1955), pp. 303-319.  A good account of the battle, which should be fairly easy to find in larger libraries.
