The Peace That Almost Was: The Forgotten Story of the 1861 Washington Peace Conference and the Final Attempt to Avert the Civil War
* Rediscover a crucial yet forgotten piece of Civil War history! Tooley explores how a bipartisan 1861 conference nearly averted battle and why the participants---including former President John Tyler, General Winfield Scott, future Treasury Secretary Salmon Chase, and dozens of senators and congressmen---couldn't ultimately reach a compromise, in spite of shared faith, family, and friendships. 320 pages, hardcover from Nelson.
