The Illustrated History of the Civil War 1861-1865

Manassas, Shiloh, Brandy Station, Mobile Bay, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, Atlanta, Petersburg, Appomattox . . . names that bring to mind the American Civil War, when brother fought brother and a young nation was torn apart as it struggled to understand itself and determine just what its freedoms meant. Here is that war, concisely written and lavishly illustrated with actual photographs and images of the time. The camera had just come into common usage when the armies of blue and gray marched off to war, so the Civil War was the world's first conflict captured extensively in photographs. Folio. As new oversize hardcover in a as new, dust jacket. The pictures on the listing page are of the actual book for sale, NOT stock photos. Always carefully packaged and shipped quickly.
