Flight Into Oblivion

By Alfred Jackson Hanna

Book Overview

Hanna begins with General Lee's fatal telegram and the hasty exodus of Jefferson Davis and high officials to Danville, then Greensboro and Charlotte. From there the Confederate Cabinet dispersed, and he follows each man's adventurous course in detail. Only John C. Breckinridge and Judah P. Benjamin successfully escaped, outwitting Federal authorities and pirates along their way to Cuba. A classic work that makes for fabulous, spirited reading, Flight Into Oblivion, first published in 1938, soars once again accompanied by William Davis's crackling new introduction. Book jacket.
