Savannah for Christmas

Description:

Historian Stanley Weintraub, author of Silent Night, combines two winning topics-Christmas and the Civil War-in General Sherman's Christmas, new from Smithsonian Books. Focusing on the holiday season of 1864, when General Sherman relentlessly pushed his troops across Georgia to capture Savannah, General Sherman's Christmas includes the voices of soldiers and civilians on both sides of the conflict and is illustrated with striking period prints, making it the perfect holiday present for every history buff.
