Savannah: Or a Gift for Mr. Lincoln Mass market paperbound - 2005
by John Jakes
Jakes, "the godfather of the historical novel" ("Los Angeles Times"), brings to life an almost forgotten moment in the Civil War--a season of simmering hostilities, rising hopes, and empty stockings--perhaps the most strife-torn yet heartwarming Christmas in all of American history.
Summary
Georgia 1864: Sherman's army marches inexorably from Atlanta to the sea. In its path: the charming old city of Savannah, where the Lester ladies-attractive widow Sara and her feisty twelve-year-old daughter Hattie-struggle to save the family rice plantation. When Sherman offers the conquered city to President Lincoln as "a Christmas gift," Hattie and the feared general find themselves on a collision course that will astonish both of them.
