Lincoln's Dreams

I found this one to be quite fascinating. It's really about a young woman, Annie, who is dreaming Robert E. Lee's dreams not Lincoln's dreams as the title would imply. Annie is accompanied by a researcher who is looking for clues to Lincoln's dreams for the Civil War author he works for. Anyway, Annie dreams her way through the major battles of the Civil War including Antietam and Gettysburg from Lee's perspective. Willis did a great job researching her subject matter with this novel providing many details of the Civil War that I was unaware of. I would recommend this and now I need to read more about Lee and the Civil War as well as other works by Willis.
