Description
"Even after Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox, the Civil War continued to be fought, and surrenders negotiated, on different fronts. The most notable of these occurred at Bennett Place, near Durham, North Carolina, when Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston surrendered the Army of Tennessee to Union General William T. Sherman. In this first full-length examination of the end of the war in North Carolina, Mark Bradley traces the campaign from the Battle of Bentonville in March 1865 to the surrender at Bennett Place on April 26.". "Alternating between Union and Confederate points of view and drawing on his readings of primary sources, including eyewitness accounts and final muster rolls of the Army of Tennessee, Bradley depicts the action as it was experienced by the troops and the civilians in their path. In addition to Generals Sherman and Johnston, he includes cameos of such Tar Heel State notables as Governor Zebulon B. Vance, Senator William A. Graham, and University of North Carolina president David L. Swain."--BOOK JACKET.
