An Island of Neutrality

Despite being very close to several major clashes in the Civil War, the home of General Washington remained a site sacred to North and South alike. Muir draws heavily upon letters, military orders, and other period documents to tell this story of Mount Vernon in a very quick and lively manner, adding some interesting color to Civil War history and some insight into what day-to-day life was like for civilians near the USA-CSA border.
