- Appomattox Campaign, 1865, Juvenile literature, History, Peace
MacKinlay Kantor gives us vivid pictures of the two generals and leads us, step by step, to the McLean house at Appommatox where Lee surrendered to Grant. They were no ordinary men, these two, yet they had habits of mind and action that make them seem very much like the people around us.
