Illustrated by
Claire A. Nivola.
Young Lula McLean watched the Civil War begin and end: General Beauregard used her family's Virginia home as his headquarters, and Lee surrendered at their second home. The finely executed, primitive-like paintings accentuate the idea that this war was an intimate part of everyday life in the South, and the small, telling details show a personal side of the war.
