Summary

Pulitzer Prize-winning author MacKinlay Kantor leads us from the bloody battlefields of the American Civil War to a small farmhouse in the Virginia countryside. There, two great generals would come together and begin the process of healing for a nation weary of war and killing. There couldn't be two men more different than the proper and dignified Robert E. Lee with his immaculate uniform on his proud horse, Traveller, and the mud-spattered and rumpled Ulysses S. Grant who looked like a common foot soldier. But their shared belief in peace and reconciliation helped begin a process that would bring the fractured country together. By focusing on the end of the war, Kantor gives us a minute-by-minute account of the truce and surrender along with a keen understanding of the men who prevented further casualties. Book jacket.
