Summary: "The Battle of Spring Hill, Tennessee" by John K. Shellenberger is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work scrutinizes a pivotal battle during the American Civil War, specifically focusing on the events of November 29, 1864, which had significant implications for the war's outcome.
