" The author does a superb job of tying all of these stories together in a great narrative on Oxford , the University of Mississippi and Lafayette County leading up to the Civil War and during the war years...He accomplishes this in a manner that makes the book hard to put down." - The Oxford Eagle (Read the Review) |

"Every so often a book comes out that really hits close to home. Mr. Stephen Enzweiler has done this with his recent book, "OXFORD IN THE CIVIL WAR, Battle for a Vanquished Land." While Oxford has been mentioned in many articles and books, the author has taken a very unique approach in this book. Readers will view Oxford in the war, not only the battles and military actions in and around, but also through "three distinct generations of Oxford residents." These generations include the famous residents such as Jacob Thompson and L.Q.C. Lamar. Others include university students such as Jeremiah Gage. Many will remember him as the student who died at Gettysburg and the moving last letter he wrote stained with his blood. Anyone interested in the War, in Mississippi in the war, and especially those of us whose families are from Oxford and Lafayette County, will find this book a great addition to your library." - Confederate Veteran Magazine |
