Mobile, 1865
last stand of the Confederacy
by Sean Michael O'Brien
"The last major battle of the Civil War at Fort Blakely, Alabama, on April 9, 1865, was quickly overshadowed by the concurrent surrender of Robert E. Lee's army at Appomattox, and is largely forgotten today. Yet the Federal campaign against Mobile, the last important Southern city that remained in Rebel hands, was a significant military operation involving 45,000 Union soldiers and 9,000 Confederates.
Faced with overwhelming odds, diehard Rebels refused to surrender, and - even with the end of the war clearly at hand - Federal soldiers remained willing to fight and die to capture the last enemy stronghold. O'Brien explores the battle and the driving forces behind it in the first comprehensive treatment of the campaign in over 130 years."--BOOK JACKET.
