Returning to the turbulent days of a nation divided, best-selling author and acclaimed historian James Robertson explores 70 fascinating figures who shaped America during Reconstruction and beyond. Relentless politicians, intrepid fighters, cunning innovators - the times called for bold moves, and this resilient generation would not disappoint. From William Tecumseh Sherman, a fierce leader who would revolutionize modern warfare, to Thomas Nast, whose undefeatable weapon was his stirring cartoons, these are the people who weathered the turmoil to see a nation reborn. Following these extraordinary legends from the battle lines to the White House, from budding metropolises to the wooly west, we rediscover the foundation of this great country.

This was an interesting work, that not only went over Civil War history, and a lot of the key players, but it also follows them to the period 1865 to the early 20th century and the impact that these individuals had on American society. It was a really good book. I highly recommend it.

The first half was a bit of a struggle for me. Eventually my interest was sparked and I thoroughly enjoyed the later half.
