Book Synopsis The Confederate Surrender at Greensboro by : Robert M. Dunkerly
Download or read book The Confederate Surrender at Greensboro written by Robert M. Dunkerly. This book was released on 2013-07-03. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon more than 200 eyewitness accounts, this work chronicles the largest troop surrender of the Civil War, at Greensboro--one of the most confusing, frustrating and tension-filled events of the war. Long overshadowed by Appomattox, this event was equally important in ending the war, and is much more representative of how most Americans in 1865 experienced the conflict's end. The book includes a timeline, organizational charts, an order of battle, maps, and illustrations. It also uses many unpublished accounts and provides information on Confederate campsites that have been lost to development and neglect.

Book Synopsis The Civil War Ends, 1865 by : Mark L. Bradley
Download or read book The Civil War Ends, 1865 written by Mark L. Bradley. This book was released on 2015. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people mistakenly believe that the American Civil War ended when Lee’s army evacuated Richmond and Petersburg after a long siege and surrendered to Grant at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, on 9 April 1865. Although the capitulation of the South’s premier field army foreshadowed the Confederacy’s ultimate demise, important operations took place concurrent with the struggle between Grant and Lee—operations which continued into May 1865. This brochure examines some of these events. The first half deals with the most important operation aside from the Petersburg-Appomattox Campaign in driving the Confederacy to its knees, the conquest of the Carolinas by General Sherman. The rest of the brochure describes how Federal commanders across the South compelled the Confederacy’s remaining organized military forces to lay down their arms in the spring of 1865.

Book Synopsis Guilford County and the Civil War by : Carol Moore
Download or read book Guilford County and the Civil War written by Carol Moore. This book was released on 2015. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guilford County residents felt the brutal impact of the Civil War on both the homefront and the battlefield. From the plight of antislavery Quakers to the strength of women, the county was awash in political turmoil. Intriguing abolitionists, fire-breathing secessionists, peacemakers, valiant soldiers and carpetbaggers are some of the figures who contributed to the chaotic time. General Joseph E. Johnston's parole of the Army of Tennessee at Greensboro, as well as the birth of a free black community following the Confederate defeat, brought amazing changes. Local author and historian Carol Moore traces the romantic days in the lead-up to war, the horrors of war itself and the decades of aftermath that followed. Book jacket.
