New SAHT experience did not disappoint!
Until booking this latest tour and then reading several books on this theatre of Civil War, I knew very little of how strategic these battles were. The loss of life by both armies rivalled the more well known battles such as Gettysburg and Vicksburg – such was the importance of holding the railroads.
Our historian Parker Hills detailed the movements of the armies at each stop; his maps make it clear what happened as you look over the landscape and battlefields. I loved everything about this tour – perhaps a highlight for me was being at the top of Lookout Mountain on a misty morning imagining how it would have been with the two armies clashing at the ‘Battle above the Clouds’.
All Museums, Mansions and sites extremely interesting, our Hotels exceptional!
Thanks to Parker, Mark and Marina for providing a memorable experience sure to become another permanent and popular Civil War Tour.
My son and I took this tour some years ago and are still talking about it. The tour and it’s guide were fist class. I have been to Normandy since and it was more impressive having been with Ambrose before.
Stephen Ambrose Tours certainly covers strategy and the high level of a military campaign, but they have the great ability to collect much anecdotal information about the average GI and that is what gives the color and humanist to their tours.
I can't describe the experience completely. I really had a great time on this trip and I highly encourage you to choose this trip. If you have been on it before the second time is certainly worth it.
