		In addition, noted historian Nathaniel Cheairs Hughes Jr.'s Bentonville: The Final Battle of Sherman and Johnson is a fine study of the last major battle in the Carolinas Campaign, although its scope is much more limited than that of Barrett and Bradley.
		For a large and complicated battle like Bentonville, it is all but impossible to try to understand what happened without the benefit of at least one map that shows the terrain features described in the book.
		To its credit, the book does give decent coverage of Braxton Bragg's battle of Wyse Fork (also known as the battle of Kinston) and to the battle of Averasboro - actions that are often overlooked by historians examining the Carolinas Campaign.

		Hess studies the use of fortifications by tracing the campaigns of the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia from April 1861 to April 1864.
		He considers the role of field fortifications in the defense of cities, river crossings, and railroads and in numerous battles.
		He also argues that the development of trench warfare in 1864 resulted from the shock of battle and the continued presence of the enemy within striking distance, not simply from the use of the rifle-musket, as historians have previously asserted.

		As the forces of Union Maj. General Jacob Cox advanced on Kinston following the retreat of the forces of Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg at the Battle of Wyse Fork, the crew of the Neuse made the radical move of destroying the ship.
		Delays had plagued the ship’s construction, the river level was low, and since the Neuse was one of just 22 ironclad ships commissioned by the Southerners, she was far too valuable to allow to fall into Union hands.
		After the second largest land battle fought in North Carolina at nearby Wyse Fork, and the retreat of the Confederates, the Neuse’s crew sank the ship.
