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.
Praise for this book
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.
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.
