This work is a presentation of early photographs, history and genealogy. People who lived through the revolutionary war and their children, also alive at the time, are the subjects of the history.

This collection of images assigns faces to an un-illustrated war and tells the stories of our nation's Founding Fathers and Mothers. It is a much-needed contribution to the history of the American Revolution, the history of the early Republic, and the history of photography.

Aint he the one killed Lee and Frank Lewis over some Mormon . . . a girl? Joey was careful not to say what he was thinking. It was Judge that said all women were whores, and a lot of Mormon women were real pretty whores, especially Clara Williams, even if she was Jeremiah Becks! Joey certainly wasnt afraid of Jeremiah Beck, even if his Uncle Jim had said Jeremiah Beck was dangerous! Nonetheless, unsure if Nate and Patrick would back him, Joey didnt move. If I know Frank and Lee . . . they asked for it. Leave him to Clay . . . or Windel after Windel grows up . . . Jim Davis turned to face Jeremiah. That right . . . old friend . . . I mean about Frank and Lee asking for it? You know me. Id never kill a man aint tried me . . . Jeremiahs feet were set, and his open coat revealed his two pistols. Apart from Mexico . . . when we all had to kill without giving a man a chance . . . but even then you never liked it none . . . Not like Judge. He always said killings . . . killing! If he was here . . . you know he wouldnt agree with me stopin the boys. He and Frank was real close . . . dont matter none that Frank asked for what he got . . .

Biographical sketches of six veterans of the American Revolutionary War still alive during the American Civil War : Samuel Downing (2nd New Hampshire Regiment) -- Daniel Waldo (Connecticut Militia) -- Lemuel Cook (2nd Dragoons) -- Alexander Milliner (1st New York Regiment) -- William Hutchings (Massachusetts Militia) -- Adam Link (Pennsylvania Militia).

Even after Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox, the Civil War continued to be fought, and surrenders negotiated, on different fronts. The most notable of these occurred at Bennett Place, near Durham, North Carolina, when Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston surrendered the Army of Tennessee to Union General William T. Sherman. In this first full-length examination of the end of the war in North Carolina, Mark Bradley traces the campaign leading up to Bennett Place. Alternating between Union and Confederate points of view and drawing on his readings of primary sources, including numerous eyewitness accounts and the final muster rolls of the Army of Tennessee, Bradley depicts the action as it was experienced by the troops and the civilians in their path. He offers new information about the morale of the Army of Tennessee during its final confrontation with Sherman's much larger Union army. And he advances a fresh interpretation of Sherman's and Johnston's roles in the final negotiations for the surrender.
