Description

"Allegany to Appomattox" describes the environment, enlistment, and political atmosphere that resulted in the Civil War from the perspective of one farmer, William Whitlock who at the age of thirty-five left his family for service to the Union. He wrote at least forty letters home to his wife and family. These unpublished letters serve as the foundation of the book.
