Si Klegg, Book 4 Experiences of Si and Shorty on the Great Tullahoma Campaign

"Si Klegg, Book 4" by John McElroy relates the tale of Si Klegg and Shorty, two soldiers in the Army of the Cumberland, during the Tullahoma Campaign of the Civil War. The narrative plunges the reader into the thick of their journey, marked by grueling marches through endless rain and mud, constantly facing off against the Confederate army. From the beginning, we see how their spirit and their resolve is revealed while managing stubborn mules and gushing streams as they push toward Shelbyville, eager to meet the enemy. The story shows how their bond grows stronger as they hold onto their humor as they demonstrate the determination of soldiers during one of the most intense times in American history.
