One of the most pivotal, shocking, and defining events in American history, the assassination of President Lincoln, remains a constant source of fascination and divisive opinions. In this extensively researched historical novel, the author paints a fuller picture of those convicted of killing the president. John Wilkes Booth and his co-conspirators are often dismissed as irrational loners. But The Last Confederate Heroes: The Final Struggle for Southern Independence and the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln delves deeper into their backgrounds and political philosophies, portraying them as imaginative secret agents who conspire with select members of the Confederate government in a last ditch effort to end the Civil War in 1865 with a Southern victory. Booth and his cohorts' previous schemes to bring down the North had all failed. Frustrated by these defeats, the Rebel retreat from Richmond, and the surrender of Lee's army at Appomattox, Booth reassembles his band with a plot to assassinate Lincoln and his cabinet, one by one, at various points around Washington, DC, on the night of April 14, 1865. Only Booth succeeds. Evading capture, he leads officials on a twelve-day manhunt that ends with his death at the hands of federal soldiers and detectives. His compatriots are arrested, tried, and sentenced to be hanged or jailed, but a carefully engineered Confederate cover-up hinders complete investigation and allows many conspirators to go free. Provocative and compelling, The Last Confederate Heroes follows Booth, Mary Surratt, Dr. Samuel A. Mudd, and others in their efforts to end the Civil War and achieve Southern independence -- only to go down amid the ruins of the Old South and the cause they held so dear.

An in-depth history of the Confederate Army’s last stand in Mobile, Alabama, a month after Gen. Lee’s surrender at Appomattox Court House. It has long been acknowledged that Gen. Robert E. Lee’s surrender at the Battle of Appomattox ended the civil war in Virginia in April of 1865. However, the last siege of the war was the Mobile campaign, an often-overlooked battle that was nevertheless crucial to securing a complete victory. Indeed, the final surrender of Confederate forces happened in Alabama. The Last Siege explores the events surrounding the Union Army’s capture of Mobile and offers a new perspective on its strategic importance, including access to vital rail lines and two major river systems. Included here are the most detailed accounts ever written on Union and Confederate camp life in the weeks prior to the invasion, cavalry operations of both sides during the expedition, the Federal feint movement at Cedar Point, the crippling effect of torpedoes on US naval operations in Mobile Bay, the treadway escape from Spanish Fort, and the evacuation of Mobile. Evidence is presented that contradicts the popular notion that Mobile welcomed the Federals as a pro-Union town. Using primary sources, this book highlights the actions of Confederate soldiers who fought to the last with sophisticated military tactics in the Confederacy’s last campaign, which led to the final surrender at Citronelle, Alabama, in May.

Immediately after the Civil War, white women across the South organized to retrieve the remains of Confederate soldiers. In Virginia alone, these Ladies' Memorial Associations (LMAs) relocated and reinterred the remains of more than 72,000 soldiers. Challenging the notion that southern white women were peripheral to the Lost Cause movement until the 1890s, Caroline Janney restores these women as the earliest creators and purveyors of Confederate tradition. Long before national groups such as the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and the United Daughters of the Confederacy were established, Janney shows, local LMAs were earning sympathy for defeated Confederates. Her exploration introduces new ways in which gender played a vital role in shaping the politics, culture, and society of the late nineteenth-century South.

Jubal Anderson Early (1816-1894) ranked among the most important generals who fought with Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. A brigade and corps commander, he played principal roles at the battles of First Manassas, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and most of the other engagements in the Eastern Theater during the first three years of the Civil War. In 1864 Early commanded an army in the Shenandoah Valley, winning several victories and menacing Washington before suffering ignominious defeat in a series of battles against Phillip H. Sheridan's Union forces. Early's long and active postwar career was marked by writings devoted to redeeming the South's reputation from the stain of military defeat. Encouraged by Lee and others who wanted the Confederate version to be on record as soon as possible, Early quickly completed a personal account of the last year of the war.
