In December 1862, the Battle of Fredericksburg shattered Union forces and threatened to break apart Lincoln's government. Five singular individuals embody Fredericksburg's shattering resolution: Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.; Walt Whitman; Louisa May Alcott; John Pelham; and Arthur Fuller. All were guided by duty and driven by desire as they strove toward bold destinies. Through their lives, John Matteson unveils the manifold voices that arose after America's most tragic conflict.
