The Landmark series presents historic and biographical books for young readers, designed to hold the attention as well as to inform. Lives of outstanding people and topics of interest in American and world history are presented in story form with illustrations. ''At the end of the day -- the first of July, 1863, it seemed that the Confederacy had added another winning battle to its list of victories. Yet General Lee neglected to order the attack that might have wiped out his wounded enemy and ended the war. What were his reasons? What would have happened if he had attacked? MacKinlay Kantor, from his great knowledge of the War Between the States, tries to answer these question in a story so alive that it seems to be an eyewitness report. The book is much more than an account of advances and retreats. It is the story of the men and women who heard the whine of shells and felt the sting of wounds during three horrible days of bloodshed. The are real people in speech and action -- from the mightiest General down to the youngest, rawest, most homesick foot solder.'' Author MacKinlay Kantor wrote another book in the Landmark series -- Lee and Grant at Appomattox.
