The Civil War wasn't only Gettysburg and Antietam. Our latest post dives into three dramatic, often-overlooked Western campaigns—Sibley's New Mexico gamble (1862), Banks and Porter's Red River fiasco (1864), and Sterling Price's desperate Missouri raid (1864). Deserts, bayous, prairie miles, and fragile supply lines turn grand plans into endurance tests. In Civil War Battles: Forgotten Campaigns, you can follow each operation and feel how weather, distance, and imperfect information reshape every decision. Grab the story—and then try it on the map.

Our new historical essay looks beyond the familiar question of whether J. E. B. Stuart "lost" Gettysburg and asks what cavalry was actually expected to do. From June 28 to July 1, Lee received fragments of intelligence but lacked a continuous mounted screen, while John Buford's cavalry kept scouting, reporting, screening, and buying time. The result was not Confederate blindness, but unequal situational awareness. Follow the roads and reports that shaped how two armies found one another—and how a meeting engagement became the Battle of Gettysburg.
