To understand the long march of events in North Carolina from
secession to surrender is to understand the entire Civil War--a
personal war waged by Confederates and Unionists, free blacks and
the enslaved, farm women and plantation belles, Cherokees and
mountaineers, conscripts and volunteers, gentleman officers and
poor privates. In the state's complex loyalties, its sprawling and
diverse geography, and its dual role as a home front and a
battlefield, North Carolina embodies the essence of the whole epic
struggle in all its terrible glory. Philip Gerard presents this
dramatic convergence of events through the stories of the
individuals who endured them--reporting the war as if it were
happening in the present rather than with settled hindsight--to
capture the dreadful suspense of lives caught up in a conflict
whose ending had not yet been written. As Gerard reveals, whatever
the grand political causes for war, whatever great battles decided
its outcome, and however abstract it might seem to readers a
century and a half later, the war was always personal.
