About this title

Synopsis

Presents a thousand photographs of Civil War events with six essays by noted historians

Reviews

The recent publication of the six-volume Image of War series, also edited by Davis, would seem to have exhausted the sources, interest, and genre of Civil War photographic history. Now Davis has collected almost 500 new images in this first of a two-volume set. What distinguishes this venture is Davis's perspective. Previous photographic histories focused almost exclusively on the men and machinery of war. As well as these subjects, Davis includes sections on the physical landscape, a Yankee photographer in the South, and postwar reunions of ex-soldiers. Davis's new "portrait" brings in the civilian side and reveals the photographers' craft well enough to recommend it as a good, short introduction to Civil War photographic records, but the Image of War remains a better investment for university and public libraries.
