Shades Of The Wilderness: A Story Of Lee'S Great Stand eBook

Joseph A. Altsheler wrote 8 volumes of fiction that covered the service of Confederate soldier Harry Kenton and his friends, as well as Union soldier Dick Mason, as they take part in various battles of the Civil War. Altsheler’s books have been historically popular amoung young readers and adults alike. This volume covers the Battle of the Wilderness, the first major battle of Ulysses S. Grant’s Overland Campaign against Robert E. Lee. Lee was able to hold off Grant’s attacks at Chickamauga, but the tactical stalemate merely meant the campaign would continue to Spotsylvania Court House and towards Richmond.
