THE SHADES OF THE WILDERNESS
A STORY OF LEE'S GREAT STAND

by JOSEPH A. ALTSHELER

FOREWORD

"The Shades of the Wilderness" is the seventh volume of the Civil War
Series, of which the predecessors have been "The Guns of Bull Run,"
"The Guns of Shiloh," "The Scouts of Stonewall," "The Sword of Antietam",
"The Star of Gettysburg" and "The Rock of Chickamauga." The romance
in this story reverts to the Southern side and deals with the fortunes
of Harry Kenton and his friends. It takes them on the retreat from
Gettysburg, gives the hero a short period of social life in Richmond,
describes the great battles of the Wilderness and Spottsylvania, and
ends with the deadlock in the trenches before Petersburg.
