Fourteen full-color illustrations by John Steuart Curry. (illustrator). Limited edition. THE MATCH OF THE CIVIL WAR Stephen Vincent Benét was no stranger to war. Born in 1898, his life began with the United State's invasion of Puerto Rico, and he spent his youth wading through the tension of the first World War. So, it is no surprise that his most lasting work and Pulitzer Prize winner concerns war. Named for John Brown, the pre-Civil War abolitionist who instigated Bleeding Kansas and whose hanging was the match that lit the final fuse for the war, this American epic poem unfurls the history of the Civil War, as Benét imagined the inner world of key historical figures.
