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 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.<brUnited StatesHistoryCivil War, 1861-1865BiographyUnited StatesHistoryCivil War, 1861-1865InfluenceBiographies.lcgft973.7092/2BHardin David1940-1855926Bloomsbury (Firm),UKAHLUKAHLOCLCQOCLCLOCLCQOCLCLBLOOMUtOrBLWBOOK9910974165703321After the war4454398UNINAEBook
