Wellman, Manly Wade

Abstract:

At Bentonville, a brilliant group of Confederate officers led a dwindling army against Sherman's hordes, and a desperate gamble almost succeeded. Author Manly Wellman describes the modern day terrain of the battlefield, adding a map for emphasis, while outlining the battle -- possibly the last blow for Confederate freedom in North Carolina.
