White’s work on the battle of Sailor’s Creek focuses on the capture of
Confederate Major General George Washington Custis Lee, eldest son of the
famed General Robert E. Lee, new light is shed on this often overlooked
pivotal battle during the final days of the Civil War.

the typical Civil War book. White presents the detailed account of the
capture of General Custis Lee at the Battle of Sailor’s Creek and the
controversy that surrounds it drawing on a myriad of sources, which allows

capture has certainly been a largely ignored event, seldom receiving more

research, this is no longer the case.
