Seventeen years after Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox, his heirs concluded a legal battle that awarded the family of the former Confederate general one last victory. In "The Last Battle of the Civil War", Anthony J. Gaughan recounts the complex and fascinating saga of the Lee family's conflict with the United States government that ensured that the rule of law would apply equally to ordinary citizens and high government officials.
