Description

New York: Al. Knopf, CR 1996, dust jacket with mylar, all very good condition, 419 pages with index, sources, notes, and epilogue. Black and white photos in center of book. April 1865, Union troops, unimpeded, marched into the charred city of Richmond. The author conjures up wartime Richmond with its bread riots, hospitals crammed with amputees, rat infestation, etc., but despite universal hardship, Richmond crackled with spirit. The theaters kept showing plays, taffy parties, faro parlors and sewing circles kept most people entertained. Stated first Edition. Hard Cover.
