      I recommend you grab "The Road to Bristoe Station" by William D. Henderson. It is probably still the best study on this fascinating campaign, oft overlooked, like the rest of the post Gburg Virginia operations. For a shorter but on-line version of events you can also go here: http://www.26nc.org/Articles/BristoeArticle/main.htm

        Doug,
        Thanks for the info. I checked several different places but no one seems to have the book. Do you know of some sources for this book

          Andrew,

          One good source for hard to find books is always abebooks.com. It is a site the represents many small rare book stores.

          Since your book apparantly only had 1000 copies printed, it is an excellent choice to start your search (hint - yes, there is one available).

          I'd bookmark the site in the future. It's helped me find a lot of books in the past.

          Good luck,
