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 It also uses many unpublished accounts and provides information on Confederate campsites that have been lost to development and neglect.

The book is well written and the story flows effortlessly from beginning to end. After finishing this; my only question is; why hasn't THIS story been told by Hollywood yet? Highly recommended for any Civil War/history buff!
