{"product_id":"with-grant-and-meade-from-theodore-lyman-9780803279353","title":"With Grant and Meade from the Wilderness to Appomattox","description":"The letters of Theodore Lyman, an aide-de-camp to General George Meade, offer a witty and penetrating inside view of the Civil War. Scholar and Boston Brahmin, Lyman volunteered for service following the battle at Gettysburg. From September 1863 to the end of the war, he wrote letters almost daily to his wife. Colonel Lyman's early letters describe life in winter quarters. Those written after General Grant assumes command chronicle the Army of the Potomac's long-awaited move against the Army of Northern Virginia. Lyman covered the field, delivering messages. \u003cp\u003eAs a general's aide, he was privy to headquarters planning, gossip, and politics. No one escaped his discerning eye--neither \"the flaxen Custer\" nor Abraham Lincoln, who struck him as \"a highly intellectual and benevolent Satyr.\" After capably serving General Meade (\"Old Peppery\"), Lyman accompanied him to Appomattox Court House and there observed the dignified, defeated General Lee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Theodore Lyman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803279353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803279353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.18h x 5.06w x 1.07d","brand":"Theodore Lyman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47520295420159,"sku":"9780803279353","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_994a96fc-a04b-4b26-883b-88ec1105cf9e.jpg?v=1762884729","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/with-grant-and-meade-from-theodore-lyman-9780803279353","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
