The Cover: Peering through a screen of cattails, Confederate guerrillas draw a bead on their foe in a painting by Tennessee artist Gilbert Gaul. Such furtive assaults by irregular troops plagued the Federal Army as it moved through the South, forcing the diversion of thousands of men from the battle fronts to protect the vulnerable Union rear.
