"Marching to Appomattox: The Footrace That Ended the Civil War" by Ken Stark chronicles the dramatic events leading up to the final surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox Court House in April 1865. The story follows various key figures, including soldiers and civilians, as they navigate the chaos of a war-torn landscape. Tensions rise as Union forces under General Ulysses S. Grant close in on Lee's beleaguered army. Amidst the turmoil, personal stories of courage and desperation unfold, culminating in a historic moment that not only signifies the end of the Civil War but also reshapes America’s future.
