Book Overview
Dr. Tom Horton has sifted through the diary entries, old newspaper accounts and textbooks so you can make sense of it all. You'll discover: - How a contingent of Carolinians, led by Joseph Brevard Kershaw of Camden, failure to seize Little Round Top perhaps led to the end of the Civil War. - Why leading cabinet and furniture maker William Enston of Charleston should be in any pantheon of leading philanthropists. - How Thomas Pinckney, a respected soldier, governor, diplomat and even presidential candidate, became America's forgotten founding father. - And much more, including the little-told stories of why Napoleon's sister-in-law was an American Hussy, why Indian fighters made the best Civil War Generals and what made John Rutledge so special. It's all collected in one book, and it's a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how History's Lost Moments helped shape the world as it is today.
