"In this stunning and well-researched book, Kevin Levin catches the new waves of the study of memory, black soldiers, and the darker underside of the Civil War as well as anyone has... Levin is both superb scholar and public historian, showing us a piece of the real war that does now get into the books, as well as into site interpretation."
David Blight, Author of Race and Reunion

Thanks for this … I used to watch the series many years ago, but I never saw the pilot, so Parmenter’s Appomattox exploit and promotion was always a mystery.
Toby,
Same here. Glad you enjoyed it.
The corporal in the center bears a remarkable resemblance to Grant’s hero, Zachary Taylor.
