From the foreword: "Flight into Oblivion tells the story of a dramatic episode of the Confederacy - the adventures of its civilian leaders as, in April, 1865, they fled south from Richmond in an effort to elude the Unionist pursuers bent on their capture and punishment. Only two, after a dash of almost 2,000 miles, succeeded in escaping capture."
