Richmond became the capital of the Confederacy when Virginia joined
the Southern cause, marking the city as a prime target for the
Union army. General McClellan was the first Union leader to lay
siege to Richmond, and that was just the beginning. The attractive
and genteel city of Richmond would be transformed into a refugee
camp, a scene of riots, and a city-sized hospital before the war
was over. Making use of diaries, letters, and newspaper accounts
from the era, Wright brings readers face to face with the men and
women who fought for the city, endured starvation, observed Lee's
defeats and Grant's progress, and witnessed the Confederacy's last
days.
