How much have things changed since the days of our ancestors? What kind of stories would tabloid readers of the 1860s have seen? What were the juicy scandals of the Civil War? This book offers an entertaining look at the antics of Lee, Davis, Sickles, Sherman, Mosby, Custer, Stuart, Abe and Mary Lincoln, and many more, transforming them from lifeless bronze-and-granite heroes to flesh-and-blood people just like us.
