Synopsis
This outstanding account, written by a sympathetic Union officer and witness to the Civil War's denouement, covers the last days and downfall of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia (led by the indomitable Robert E. Lee), from the fall of Richmond to Appomattox. Morris Schaff focuses largely on the Confederate Army's dramatic retreat and surrender in March and April, 1865, when Lee himself was compelled to admit defeat. Written in the form of letters, Schaff writes a first hand account of the people, places, and events that changed the course of history.

About the Author
Captain Morris Schaff (1840-1929) was an author and officer in the Army of the Potomac. Gary W. Gallagher, editor of The Myth of the Lost Cause and Civil War History, lives in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Review
Certainly a book to be read both by the student of formal history and by those who take pleasure in the picturesque details both of peace and war. (The Boston Transcript)
Supplemented by a new introduction from Gary W. Gallagher, this work represents a classic example of reconciliationist history that flourished after the war. The author, a veteran Union officer who fought in Virginia, evenhandedly tells how the Civil War came to a graceful conclusion. (Civil War Book Review)
