Synopsis

The American Civil War remains to this day, one of the bloodiest battles ever waged — three million fought and 600,000 died. In the beginning, it split apart the country; in the end, it united it. Now armchair soldiers can explore this endlessly fascinating era in the Timeline of the Civil War.
  • This innovative volume chronicles the war as it happened, year-by-year, detailing key events such as the Battle of Bull Run, the surrender of Robert E. Lee, and the assassination of President Lincoln.
  • Each chapter includes interesting, accessible text, box features, full-color artworks, and incredible archival photographs. At the bottom of text pages, a timeline linking events happening elsewhere at the time provides context and intrigue.
  • At the back of the book, an 8-page double-sided gatefold timeline profiles key events throughout the war in a unique graphic representation, with cut-out images and color keys under various themes and headings.
