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. 1-56837-371-6 $35.00
