A Military Genius Life of Anna Ella Carroll of Maryland Sarah Ellen Blackwell Books
This is a fascinating book, not because the basic assertions of the author and Ms. Carroll are correct, but because those claims can be so easily discredited and yet still retain the ability to motivate people to action. To this day, there remains a core of loyal Anna Ella Carroll advocates who wish to give her a larger role in history than she actually deserves.The most fundamental assertion of this book is that Anna Ella Carroll was the author of the Union strategy to push down the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers instead of focusing on the Mississippi as originally outlined in Scott's "Anaconda Plan". How she researched the problems associated with Scott's plan and then arrived at her independent recommendation makes for fascinating reading. Her personal initiative and military insight are both commendable. The claim that her gender was an unwarranted and possibly the deciding reason for her exclusion from the highest level of government policy making need not be debated. Nonetheless, her claim of authorship of the strategy is undercut in her own account of its genesis. Her own timetable ignores the fact that U.S. Grant had already seized the key to the puzzle, Paducah, Kentucky in September of 1861. It also ignores the fact that the only reason this had not been held earlier was that to do so would have alienated Kentuckian to the point of session. The very day that the south seized Columbus on the Mississippi, Grant moved on Paducah. It's been a while since I read this book, but I believe her memo was sent in January of '62.
My advice is to read this book not to become a support of Mr. Carroll's inflated claims, but to gain insight into how someone of her social standing had so much influence on public opinion and public policy. Her contributions to the concept of presidential war powers make her historically important. This book led me far deeper into my study of the Civil War than I ever intended to go. For that reason alone, I heartily recommend it.

A Military Genius Life of Anna Ella Carroll of Maryland Sarah Ellen Blackwell Books Reviews
It is worthwhile knowing about Anna Ella Carrol but it's much more satisfying to look her up in on-line sources. Wikapedea has a good write up.
Excellent the information is amazing and gives a new twist to the historical record
Miss Carroll was a very large influence on the outcome of the Civil War. An amazing person I never heard of in history class. The book also touches on how slavery got started in America and why plantation owners couldn't free their slaves (in many cases the slaves were collateral for bank loans). Miss Carroll was fortunate enough to be able to free her slaves.
History of the greatest conflict waged by the United States that cost the lives of 600,000 men and women plus hundreds of thousands of people injured along with the loss of thousands of civilians was brought to a conclusion by the success of the Northern States due to the contributions of highly dedicated and intelligent woman who has gone unheralded and unpaid for her unselfish contributions to the Northern States cause. MAY TRUTH AND JUSTICE PREVAIL AT LAST. AMEN
