Fascinating, well researched and clearly written-the story of the Lee family and Arlington is an important chapter in American history., In affecting prose, Carlo DeVito skillfully narrates the important and oft-overlooked story of Arlington National Cemetery's creation during the Civil War. With vivid storytelling and compelling character sketches, he mines the human drama of a conflict that left behind rows of mute, white headstones-not only in Mrs. Lee's Rose Garden , but in countless other places, too. This is a poignant book., In affecting prose, Carlo DeVito skillfully narrates the important and oft-overlooked story of Arlington National Cemetery's creation during the Civil War. With vivid storytelling and compelling character sketches, he mines the human drama of a conflict that left behind rows of mute, white headstones--not only in Mrs. Lee's Rose Garden , but in countless other places, too. This is a poignant book., This is a short book, but it is filled with the drama of the lives most intimately involved with the mansion and provides a wonderful look at the pre-and-post Civil War era. They come alive as real people faced with their personal and the national dramas., Thousands of people visit Arlington National Cemetery each week, but few have any significant understanding of its connection to famed Civil War General Robert E. Lee. Carlo DeVito has dramatically presented the story of the Federal government's seizure of Lee's private estate and its subsequent transformation into a vast graveyard; a well told tale filled with intrigue, revenge, and controversy., Every place has a biography, none with more tragic twists and turns than Arlington National Cemetery. An old garden, once the delight of Mary Custis Lee, still sits at the heart of the cemetery and is key to the story of its evolution, a tale movingly and deftly told in this splendid new book by Carlo DeVito., Fascinating, well researched and clearly written--the story of the Lee family and Arlington is an important chapter in American history.
