The evidence points to Titus, and he is arrested and jailed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs spring approaches, Will Brannon recuperates from his Gettysburg wound and returns to his regiment. In the meantime, a new commander leads the Union army into northern Virginia—U.S. Grant. To block Grant's march on Richmond, Robert E. Lee attacks. Grant, however, does not retreat after this surprise engagement but marches on. The two armies clash again and again, maneuvering ever closer to the Rebel capital.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWill throws himself into the battles with abandon. At last his pain ends at the portentously named crossroads, Cold Harbor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter Titus's innocence is proven, he joins the partisan rangers of John S. Mosby. This guerrilla-style warfare suits his nature, and the rangers so effectively harass the Federals in the rich farmland of the Shenandoah that Grant dispatches a special force to squash Mosby. This unit adopts a policy of total war in the valley so as to undercut Mosby's support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTitus vows vengeance on the Yankees for this wanton destruction, but even he knows that there is little chance that the tide will be stemmed. Both the Confederacy and the Brannons have suffered much in the year 1864. Now even the hotheaded Titus begins to wonder if the nation and his family will survive into 1865.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eWe earn a commission for purchases made through the following links.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1581824351\/ref=nosim?tag=tpcecomm-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Amazon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003c!-- bookshop-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/book\/9781581824353\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Bookshop.org\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/bookshop-buylink --\u003e","brand":"James Reasoner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43233317028056,"sku":"9781581822946","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43233607287000,"sku":"9781581824353","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/7786\/8475\/files\/Shenandoah_FChigh_mockup_v2_1661974281_798eadb0-1168-42c1-8fdb-44797dadf9de.jpg?v=1791021219"},{"product_id":"appomattox","title":"Appomattox (The Civil War Battle Series #10)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe saga of the Brannon family of Culpeper County, Virginia, concludes in this tenth volume of the \u003cem\u003eCivil War Battle Series\u003c\/em\u003e with sons in every theater of the war. For a time, Mac and Titus fight in the Shenandoah, Mac with Fitzhugh Lee’s cavalry at the battle of Third Winchester and Titus with Mosby’s Rangers in the cut-and-slash tactics of guerrilla warfare. The cavalry, however, must throw its weight behind the defenses at Petersburg, where U.S. Grant’s army methodically pressures the remnants of Robert E. Lee’s legions. Cory fights against William T.

Mac is not far from the McLean house when Lee meets with Grant. Cory is at hand, too, when Joseph E. Johnston parleys with Sherman. Titus, however, finds himself enmeshed in the complicated scheme of one of the darkest plots of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, among the war’s last victims is the Brannon farm itself. As carpetbaggers move into the South, this prime real estate is too good to leave in the hands of defeated Rebels. For their part, the Brannons have only so much fight left in them. The unsettled West holds more promise than the scarred and wrecked land of northern Virginia. Cory already has one foot in Texas; he others are not far behind. Titus remains absent, estranged.

The following May, a large Union army led by Gen.
