Chris Calkins: The Final Bivouac, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"What actually happened during the first six weeks of new-found peace once General Lee surrendered the remnants of the Army of Northern Virginia to General Grant? What were the initial reactions of the soldiers and Virginia citizens to the devastating news of Lincoln's assassination? How did they handle the situation of the emancipated slaves? These and many other issues are covered in depth by Chris Calkins, former chief historian at Appomattox, in this book. This will stand the judgment of time and will be of deep interest to everyone who enjoys reading about the American Civil War"--
