The Civil War in the Carolinas

Résumé du livre

"The author offers fascinating sketches of major and minor personalities including the new president and state governors, Generals Lee, Beauregard, D. H. Pickett, Sherman, and Joseph E. Johnston. Rebels and abolitionist, pacifists and unionist, slaves, and freed men and women, all influential, all placed in their context with clear eyed and humorous precision. If he were wielding a needle instead of a pen, his tapestry would offer us a complete picture of a people at war."--BOOK JACKET.
