A Confederate Surgeon's Journal and the Civil War in the Carolinas, 1865. Surprisingly little ink has been spilled on the final months of the Civil War in the Carolinas, despite its fascinating cast of characters, host of combats large and small, and its impact on the course of the war. Now in paperback, Resisting Sherman fills in many of the gaps and adds tremendously to our knowledge of this region and those troubled final days of the Confederacy.
