The U.S. Civil War left in its wake some 750,000 dead, the American countryside in ruins, and a nation healing from bitter division. The stories of the people and families, however, tell the true impact this war had on our great nation. Maybe none more so than the story of Wilmer McLean - a merchant and family man from Virginia. His experience in the Civil War is one of great irony and one that traces the campaign from start...to finish.
