The U.S. Civil War was a time of devastating loss and hardship, not just for the soldiers who fought, but for their families as well. In Life After the Civil War, readers will hear detailed accounts of how four different people from varying walks of life were affected by the war and what they did to survive and thrive in the often savage aftermath it left behind. With the empathy and meticulous attention to historical detail readers have come to expect from Lazslo Endrody, the lives of survivors are brought to life in this four-story compilation.
