Reseña del editor:

Relates the story of the end of the siege of Savannah, led by General William T. Sherman, after which the general "gave" President Lincoln the city as a Christmas gift, in a book by the best-selling author of Silent Night that explores what the holiday was like that year, from a regiment serenading the general to the significance to former slaves of being freed so close to the holiday. 30,000 first printing.
