Last Days Of The Confederacy

Plot

This book is history from the inside through the daily and sometimes hour-by-hour jottings of participants in fateful events. There are observations from the great--Lincoln, Lee, Grant, McClellan, and Semmes; from the many news correspondents who made the Civil War the first thoroughly reported war in history; and from the dozens of ordinary people--the nurses, sentries, housewives, merchants, ministers, clerks, and others who recorded in diaries and letters what they saw, heard, thought, and felt.
