| Publisher Description: When we think of 1865, we think of the surrender of Lee and Johnston's armies, and the assassination of President Lincoln. However, the first four months of 1865 featured some significant battles, including the largest amphibious operation of the War at Fort Fisher, the Fall of Petersburg, the battles leading up to Lee's surrender at Appomattox, Wilson's Raid into Alabama and Georgia, and Sherman's Carolinas Campaign. All of these battles and campaigns are worthy of noting, and they are duly noted in this book, as well as other prominent events of the period from January-May 1865. Our look at the end of the War culminates with the Grand Review of the Armies, which occurred on May 23/24, 1865 in Washington, D.C. |
