Two aging Civil War veterans mourned the death of their sons at a
joint funeral in Knoxville National Cemetery. One, a cavalry
general, had fought for the Union. The other had served as
surgeon/major of a Confederate cavalry regiment. They met for the
first time at the graves of their sons-two army lieutenants and
University of Tennessee graduates, killed together in Cuba during
the Spanish-American War. Newspaper accounts presented the
encounter as an example of reconciliation between North and South.
This book recounts the meeting of two families from opposing sides
of the war-both rooted in East Tennessee, a region harshly divided
by the conflict-placing their story in the context of America's
reconciliation narrative at the end of the 19th century.
