Lee and Grant at Appomattox (833)

Lee and Grant at Appomattox (833) by Kantor, MacKinlay. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780760352267.

From the Pulitzer Prize winning author of Andersonville comes the story of an unforgettable moment in American history: the historic meeting between General Robert E. Lee and General Ulysses S. Grant that led to the surrender of Lees Army of Northern Virginia--and ultimately to the end of the Civil War. MacKinlay Kantors book for young readers captures all the emotions and drama of those few days in April 1865: Lees mingled sorrow and relief, Grants generosity toward his late opponent and the nearly starving Confederate soldiers; and the two commanders negotiation of surrender terms intended to help heal the wounds of more than four years of the most violent conflict in American history.
