Meade's Headquarters 1863 to 1865: Letters of Theodore Lyman from the Wilderness to Appomattox is a collection of letters written by Theodore Lyman, an officer in the Union Army during the American Civil War. The letters were written during Lyman's service as an aide-de-camp to General George G. Meade, commander of the Army of the Potomac.The book provides a firsthand account of the events leading up to the end of the Civil War, including the battles of the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, and Cold Harbor, as well as the siege of Petersburg and the surrender of General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox.Lyman's letters offer a unique perspective on the war, as he was not only a witness to the major battles and campaigns, but also had access to the inner workings of Meade's headquarters. His observations provide insight into the strategies and tactics employed by the Union Army, as well as the personalities of the commanders and soldiers involved.The book includes an introduction by historian George Rable, as well as annotations and a detailed index. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the Civil War, military history, or the life and experiences of soldiers during this pivotal period in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
