It Seemed More Than Men Could Bear: The Battle of Bentonville, with Mark Bradley, U.S. Army Museum

The three-day Battle of Bentonville, North Carolina, in March 1865, was the last large-scale battle of the Civil War and the largest engagement ever fought in North Carolina. It was, according to historian Dr. Mark L. Bradley, “the Southern Confederacy’s final hurrah.”
Bradley takes an in-depth look at the battle, and the letters and diaries of the Soldiers who fought there.
Mark L. Bradley, Ph.D. is a historian at the U.S. Army Center of Military History and author of “Last Stand in the Carolinas: The Battle of Bentonville.”
