Dale Cox wrote a very interesting and informative book on The Battle of Natural Bridge and I highly recommend its purchase. Only one minor concern and that is this book could use another map or two; perhaps matching up positions on the current battle site and a larger more detailed line of approach by the units engaged. The reader can know what happened down to the individual soldier! Dale Cox's work on Florida ACW battles is outstanding.

This book is not the best Civil War battle description I have read, but it certainly not the worst. It started out a bit dry, and I had to press on to finish. My determination was rewarded. The work is a great look at the use of black troops in the Union army... and did you know the Confederacy was even trying to raise black Companies? I sure didn't. I will agree that the roll call and wounded/deceased list took up the lion's share of the book. Mr. Cox would be well served to pay someone on Fiver a few bucks to clean up the book's formatting overall... way too many blank pages. But if you want to learn some REAL history about the Civil War... and not the warmed over bullpuckey taught in our public schools... then you owe it to yourself to read this one. Just understand the author approaches the book much like a textbook in direct opposition to the writing style of Stephen Ambrose, or similar writers. There is much to learn.

I found this description of the battle of Natural Bridge to be very interesting. I've read one opinion that it was a distraction to pull reinforcements away from the Mobile campaign but after reading this book I now know it had nothing to do with it. The abundant sources of witnesses from both sides is very good in this, as most accounts are in Quarterly type articles or the occassional story of a participant. One of the units mentioned in the book was served in by my GGGrandfather. It was one of the mistakes that I've seen in most past articles. Capt Henry Abel's Company B (Milton Light Artillery [FL])was no where near the battle at that time having been sent to Savannah, GA in 1864 and then in the Carolinas campaign until the surrender. The book on the "Battle of Marianna" by the author was great so I tried this one. He has one more that I'll try next which is in the Trans-Mississippi Dept of the War between the States. If your interested in Florida's war betwen the states history I recommend his books on Marianna and Natural Bridge.

If you ever wished to know all the intimate details of a relatively small American Civil War battle...this is the book. This highly researched account of the Natural Bridge battle is amazing in terms of facts. The reader can know what happened down to the individual soldier! Dale Cox's work on Florida ACW battles is outstanding. This book is the definitive source.

Very readable and well researched history of this largely unknown Civil War battle. I have been a student of the Civil War since 3rd grade (50+ years ago) and knew very little of this battle or its rationale. Only possible suggestion might have been to add a few contemporary maps in the beginning for those of us not familiar with the geography of Florida.

This book was well researched and well written. I grew up near the site of the battle, but never really understood the battle until reading this book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the Civil War and/or the Battle of Natural Bridge.

the last chapter in stories like the movie "Glory"

This well-researched little book offers an extremely interesting lok at our past. While focused on one fairly small battle for Tallahassee Florida, it gives readers a good feel for what the citizens of the Confederacy felt and fought for. Readers may be surprised at the level of patriotism remaining at this late stage of an already-lost war (March 1865). Despite the fact that most fighting age men were already in the Confederate army or had already perished in the struggle, several thousand militia and home guard were mustered to meet the oncoming Union army. These were largely old men, wounded Confederate soldiers recouperating in Tallahassee, and students from the West Florida Seminary, today's Florida State University. Their heroic efforts won the day, but the cause was already lost. Gen. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia surrendered at Appomatix Court House one month later.

This is a book that I highly recommend for persons interested in the history of this region and it's people.
