""Meade's Headquarters 1863 to 1865: Letters of Theodore Lyman from the Wilderness to Appomattox"" is a collection of letters written by Theodore Lyman, a staff officer for General George G. Meade during the American Civil War. The book covers the period from 1863 to 1865, beginning with the Battle of the Wilderness and ending with the surrender of General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox.Lyman's letters provide a unique perspective on the war, as he was not a combat soldier but rather a member of Meade's staff, responsible for gathering intelligence and communicating with other officers. His letters offer insights into the day-to-day life of soldiers and officers, as well as the strategies and tactics employed by the Union army.The book also includes commentary and annotations by David W. Lowe, a historian and expert on the Civil War, who provides context and background information on the events and people mentioned in Lyman's letters. The combination of Lyman's firsthand accounts and Lowe's analysis make this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the Civil War, particularly the campaigns of 1863 to 1865.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
