Hardcover. The Confederates were in flight. Tired and hungry, they overran the farmland of the Appomattox River Valley as the tattered Union army, sure now of victory, pursued them. How much longer would this tragic war between the North and the South go on? Only three miles apart, the commanding generals of the opposing armies - Grant and Lee - waited and hoped for the end. Professional soldiers though they were, they both hated war with the suffering and loss of life that it must bring. Readers everywhere will be stirred by this brilliant portrayal of two American heroes who loved the causes for which they fought, but who loved peace and the welfare of their people still more.(#000075)
