Il 1915 evidenzia in maniera definitiva come la guerra che si sta combattendo è destinata a coinvolgere diversi scenari geografici, molto più ampi rispetto a quelli che erano stati ipotizzati inizialmente.

The brilliant campaign nearly cleared the state of Rebels and changed the calculus of the Civil War in the Western Theater. Despite its decisive significance, few people even today know of these events.
