• The Extraordinary Life of Charles Pomeroy Stone: Soldier, Surveyor, Pasha, Engineer
by Blaine Lamb (Westholme, 2015).General Stone certainly wasn't the only high ranking Civil War officer to suffer political persecution after military defeat but his extended imprisonment without trial is a rather unique case. Early in the war, Stone was setup for a promising career but that all came crashing down with the disaster at Ball's Bluff. Blaine Lamb's book is a full treatment of Stone's professional military and engineering careers.
