About the Book

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.

About the Author :
Richard Wheeler, an ex-marine, is the award-winning author of numerous books of military history, eleven of which deal with different Civil War campaigns and battles, including Voices of the Civil War, winner of the New York Civil War Round Table's Fletcher Pratt Award. Wheeler is also the author of Voices of 1776: The Story of the American Revolution in the Words of Those Who Were There. Joe Barrett, an actor and Audie Award and Earphones Award-winning narrator, has appeared both on and off Broadway as well as in hundreds of radio and television commercials.

Review :
"A vivid chronicle of the final weeks of the Civil War...Incidents and personalities come alive in memorable vignettes, making for exciting reading for Civil War enthusiasts." -- "Kirkus Reviews" "Goes below the surface facts...to get at the stories of the lives and deaths, the struggles, triumphs, sorrows, and joys of real people." -- "Chicago Tribune" "Highly readable." -- "America's Civil War" "Reads like a gripping novel." -- "Rocky Mountain News" "Wheeler links together the words of participants and eyewitnesses in a moving chronological narrative...Wheeler does not confine himself to military operations but provides a rich continuum of anecdotes conveying the growing sense of victory or defeat on the part of soldiers and civilians, along with homely details of daily life as the war winds down." -- "Publishers Weekly"
