The End Of An Era is a historical book written by John S. Wise and published in 1899. The book provides a detailed account of the American Civil War and its aftermath, focusing on the experiences of the author's family and their community in Virginia. Wise, a lawyer and politician, was a member of a prominent Virginia family that had played a significant role in the Confederacy. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part describing the war itself and the second part detailing the Reconstruction era. Wise provides a vivid and personal account of the war, describing battles, military strategy, and the impact of the conflict on civilians. He also explores the political and social factors that led to the war, including the issue of slavery and the tensions between the North and South.In the second part of the book, Wise discusses the challenges faced by the South in the aftermath of the war, including the struggle to rebuild and the tensions between white Southerners and newly freed African Americans. He also provides an insider's perspective on the political maneuvering that took place during Reconstruction, as Southern states were readmitted to the Union and former Confederates regained political power.Overall, The End Of An Era is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the experiences of Southern civilians during the Civil War and its aftermath. It is also an important reflection on the complex political and social forces that shaped this pivotal period in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
