En savoir plus sur le livre

The Wilmington Campaign: "Last Rays of Departing Hope" is the first study to examine, in sweeping detail, the entire campaign designed to capture one of the Confederacy's most important and heavily defended seaports. Prior books and articles have focused solely on the epic struggles for Fort Fisher, leading many students of the war to conclude that the campaign ended when that mighty bastion fell in January of 1865. In many respects, the campaign was just beginning. Author Chris E. Fonvielle, Jr., a native and resident of Wilmington, North Carolina, has spent decades studying this complex campaign and walking its terrain. His research has uncovered a vast array of previously unused battle reports, correspondence, diaries, and journals. The entire saga is told largely through the eyes of the fascinating personalities involved. Abounding with colorful characters and full of vivid battlefield detail, Fonvielle's definitive study in military history at its finest. The Wilmington Campaign: Last Rays of Departing Hope proves yet again that there is still much to be learned about the American Civil War.
