Robert DeCusati has lived throughout the United States working as a
finance manager. DeCusati has lived in two hotbeds of Civil War history,
Richmond, Virginia, where he currently lives, and Knoxville, Tennessee.
Knoxville was the site of a crucial battle during the Civil War that
DeCusati loves to learn about.
Knoxville was the object of a long and bloody campaign by both sides during the Civil War. Both sides coveted the city’s railroad station that linked Confederacy’s east and west sides. The two primary generals during the Knoxville Campaign were James Longstreet on the Confederacy side and Ambrose Burnside on the Union side. Burnside came to occupy Knoxville and eventually hold it under Confederacy siege in the end. One of the decisive battles of the campaign occurred near where Robert DeCusati and his family lived near Knoxville in Campbell’s Station.
Robert DeCusati loves to think about the brave men who fought and died an hundred and fifty years ago in the places where he has lived and visited. Throughout his travels, DeCusati has always been drawn to the history of the places he has found himself, especially in Richmond, where he now lives, and Knoxville.
