| Summary | "Lee's Last Campaign" by J. C. Gorman is a historical account published in the mid-19th century, providing a detailed narrative of the final military engagements during the American Civil War, specifically culminating in General Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House. The book captures the despair, tenacity, and eventual downfall of the Confederate Army, offering insights into the emotional and strategic challenges faced during this tumultuous period. The narrative unfolds with an exploration of the condition of the Army of Northern Virginia as it faced overwhelming odds, recounting the battles around Petersburg and the events leading to the Confederacy's retreat. Gorman details significant battles, the deterioration of Confederate morale, and the strategic maneuvers of both armies. The climactic meeting between Generals Lee and Grant, culminating in Lee's surrender, is meticulously documented along with Lee's poignant farewell address to his troops. This book serves as both an insightful historical reference and an emotional portrayal of the end of a fighting spirit, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in Civil War history.
