CWS The Campaign to Appomattox

"Surrender did not stop the guns, nor did it solve any profound social and emotional issues that had ignited the war," writes author Trudeau. "Yet in the desperate valor of the campaign leading up to it...It was the symbol the nation craved to reassure it that it was again whole."

On April 9, 1865, the American Civil War did not conclude with an epic battle, but with Union Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant’s relentless, and final, pursuit of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. In this updated edition of The Campaign to Appomattox, readers will uncover the timeline of Grant’s chase, and the Union and Confederate skirmishes along the way, through detailed troop maps, interesting factoids, and compelling narration—all concluding with Lee’s surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Courthouse.
