The Tree of Appomattox
Excerpt
“The Tree of Appomattox” concludes the series of connected romances
dealing with the Civil War, begun in “The Guns of Bull Run,” and
continued successively through “The Guns of Shiloh,” “The Scouts of
Stonewall,” “The Sword of Antietam,” “The Star of Gettysburg,” “The Rock
of Chickamauga” and “The Shades of the Wilderness” to the present volume.
It has been completed at the expense of vast labor, and the author has
striven at all times to be correct, wherever facts are involved. So far,
at least, no historic detail has been challenged by critic or reader.
