After the War

The Lives and Images of Major Civil War Figures After the Shooting Stopped

Beschreibung

"Show me a hero and I will write you a tragedy," said F. Scott Fitzgerald. Perhaps no event in American history better illustrates this view than the Civil War and its principal players in the years after the conflict. David E. Hardin's stories of eleven Civil War figures are revealing and touching. Whether Northerner or Southerner, their lives did not end at Appomattox. Their dissimilar outcomes are a feast of irony and, collectively, a portrait of national change. With eleven black-and-white photographs.
