{"product_id":"2940170550395","title":"Last of the Blue and Gray: Old Men, Stolen Glory, and the Mystery That Outlived the Civil War","description":"In the late 1950s, as America prepared for the Civil War centennial, two very old men lay dying. Albert Woolson, 109 years old, slipped in and out of a coma at a Duluth, Minnesota, hospital, his memories as a Yankee drummer boy slowly dimming. Walter Williams, at 117, blind and deaf and bedridden in his daughter's home in Houston, Texas, no longer could tell of his time as a Confederate forage master. The last of the Blue and the Gray were drifting away; an era was ending.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnknown to the public, centennial officials, and the White House too, one of these men was indeed a veteran of that horrible conflict and one, according to the best evidence, nothing but a fraud. One was a soldier. The other had been living a great, big lie.","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47105028096240,"sku":"2940170550395","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170550395_p0.jpg?v=1763712144","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170550395","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
