Description

Earl Schenck Miers brings the closing months of the Civil War into focus through historical fiction for younger readers. Young Rob and Sari Lou Custis witness events surrounding Petersburg, Richmond, and the Confederate surrender at Appomattox, where Grant and Lee met in April 1865.

Part of the We Were There series, the book combines fictional young characters with historical events. Civil War historian Bruce Catton served as historical consultant, and Leonard Vosburgh supplied the illustrations.

This copy features the publisher’s “Color-on-Cloth” reinforced library binding, with an illustrated front cover and striking orange-and-black illustrated endpapers.
