Those of us who grew up in the age of early television sometimes wonder whatever happened to this or that character. Often, a television program will feature 'grown up' child actors or 'older' adults who were our program favorites at one time.
But, whatever happened to some of the major figures that flashed across the Civil War screen? Post war stories of General Robert E. Lee, General Ulysses S. Grant, and Mrs. Mary Todd Lincoln are rather familiar. In addition, our author, David Harden, has favored the reader with several personalities who have not been as well known. And, here in lies the enjoyment for the reader.
An off-hand remark by General Gordon would label, some say doom, Winnie Davis as the 'Daughter of the Confederacy'. And, who would become friends after their husbands passed away, Julia Grant and Varnia Davis. Libbie Custer's campaign on behalf of her husband's memory is well told and interesting, too.
