Summary
Uses eyewitness descriptions by participants and observers to depict the events that forced Lee to surrender at Appomattox Court House
Amazon.com description: Product Description: [This is the Audiobook CD Library Edition in vinyl case.]
[Read by Joe Barrett]
Noted Civil War historian Richard Wheeler brings this narrative to life with haunting images of the final days of the Civil War: President Lincoln walking through the streets of Richmond, drawing an admiring crowd of blacks; Confederate and Union troops gathering in the fields around Appomattox Court House, mingling with former foes, experiencing disbelief, bitterness, relief.
Drawing from numerous eyewitness descriptions, Wheeler effectively recreates a moment of the Civil War that is perhaps unequalled in sheer emotion. This account is as much a tribute to Confederate courage as it is a record of the final triumph of the Union cause.
