Shenandoah is renowned as the last vessel to surrender after the Civil War, and the young officers on board, who didn't learn of the war's end for three months suffered extraordinary physical and emotional stress. This book presents an account of the crew's hazardous last year, told through shipboard diaries and postwar journals.
