商品簡介
The Sunset of the Confederacy recounts the last days of the Civil War in April 1865, as the Union army drove the Confederates west of Richmond and Petersburg toward the climactic meeting between Generals Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885) and Robert E. Lee (1807-1870) at Appomattox.
Through personal reminiscences and a compelling narrative, Captain Morris Schaff tells the tale of a graceful end to a bitter war. Although a soldier in the Union army, Schaff, a reconciliationist, gives equal narrative weight and credit to both the Blue and the Gray.
