Echoes
of 1861 - 1961
J.
Ambler Johnston
Echoes
is now available in a second revised edition, proving that
Johnston’s prediction was wrong. His book is a charming
collection of stories about battlefields, touring, preservation,
and Virginia Civil War history. When young historian Douglas
Southall Freeman investigated battlefields during the early 20th
century, Johnston was his usual companion. Johnston tells of
crashing through thick brush to find the Unfinished Railroad at
Manassas, and of escorting famous international political figures
around the battlefields. He also provides an important and
insightful chapter of reminiscences about Dr. Freeman.
A new
index improves the utility of the book, and this edition
certainly will receive wider circulation than its predecessor,
and is destined to earn overdue appreciation. ISBN No.
