註釋
“Brilliant . . . really gives one a sense of what it took to both lead and run an army in the Civil War. . . . Superb.” —Chris Kolakowski, author of
The Virginia Campaigns: March–August 1862
In
From Arlington to Appomattox,
Charles Knight does for Robert E. Lee and students of the Civil War what E. B. Long’s
Civil War Day by Day
did for our understanding of the conflict as a whole. This is not another Lee biography, but it is every bit as valuable as one. We know Lee rode out to meet the survivors of Pickett’s Charge and accept blame for the defeat, that he tried to lead the Texas Brigade in a counterattack to save the day at the Wilderness, and took a tearful ride from Wilmer McLean’s house at Appomattox. But where was Lee and what was he doing when the spotlight of history failed to illuminate him? Focusing on what he was doing day by day offers an entirely different appreciation for Lee. Readers will come away with a fresh sense of his struggles, both personal and professional, and discover many things about Lee for the first time through his own correspondence and papers.
From Arlington to Appomattox
is a tremendous contribution to the literature of the Civil War.
“Knight’s study will become the standard reference work on Lee’s daily wartime experiences.” —R. E. L. Krick, author of

A Glorious Army: Robert E. Lee’s Triumph, 1862–1863
"A pleasure to read.” —Michael C. Hardy, author of

“Keeps the reader engaged.” —
