Holly Springs, Mississippi raid
Does anyone know if there are any book length treatments of General Earl Van Dorn's cavalry raid on U.S. Grant's supply depot at Holly Springs, Mississippi?

Amazon has a few copies left. 
I haven't read this so I can't say whether it's good or not.

I read it. I wouldn't call it scholarly. It seems to paint Earl Van Dorn in the best ligtht as possible. But it is a good overview and has several interesting facts I didn't know prior to reading it.
