The publication of the bestselling Eye of the Storm in the fall of 2000 first brought his memoir to light, accompanied by a sample of his artwork. In all, however, he crafted some 900 watercolors and sketches. Now, with the 300 watercolors, sketches, maps, and diagrams in Images from the Storm, his artistic legacy can be appreciated on its own terms -- an achievement equal in magnitude to his writings, and unsurpassed by any other Civil War soldier-artist. Images from the Storm presents the best of Sneden's art throughout his odyssey of combat, capture, imprisonment, and deliverance, a pictorial record of the war that puts the viewer in the shoes of a Union soldier as nothing else can. Sneden aimed for vivid detail and documentary accuracy in his maps, landscapes, battles, and scenes of camp life. He sketched the camps and surroundings of the Union army, the siege of Yorktown, the battle of Williamsburg, the approach of the army to within sight of the church spires of Richmond, and the tumultuous fighting retreat of the Seven Days' battles as the Union army shrank before a relentless Confederate offensive. He drew dozens of maps and sketched daily life around Washington, D.C., before his capture in autumn 1863. For the next thirteen months, Sneden was a prisoner of the Confederacy. In a drafty tobacco warehouse in Richmond, he sketched prison life and Confederate scenes before being packed with others aboard cattle cars for a jolting train ride south. In a remote corner of rural Georgia, he survived the outdoor prison at Andersonville and drew some of his most astonishing images of camp life and its suffering. When Andersonville was evacuated, he continued to make secret pencil sketches of Confederate prisons in Savannah and Millen, Georgia, and in Florence and Charleston, South Carolina. Finally freed in a massive prisoner exchange in Charleston harbor, he returned home to New York at Christmas 1864. He made little use of his architectural training thereafter, but devoted himself to compiling his memoir of the war and converting his pencil sketches into watercolors. A solitary man who never married, Sneden died at an old soldiers' home in Bath, New York, in 1918. His watercolors and his story were forgotten for nearly a century. Images from the Storm reproduces the best of Sneden's art in sharp colors, so we can appreciate fully the mastery of a miniaturist who saw it all, and sketched whenever and wherever he could. / Charles F. Bryan, Jr., is Director and CEO of the Virginia Historical Society, Richmond, Virginia. He holds a Ph.D. in history from the University of Tennessee and has written on the Civil War in East Tennessee and the Peninsula Campaign. He is President-Elect of the American Association for State and Local History and is writing a book on historical organizations and fund-raising.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Sneden, Robert Knox (illustrator). Number line in the work reads as follows: 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2. Signed on the title page by both editors adjacent to their printed names; in addition, signed at the top of the title page as follows: "For James Lasseter, Jr, with best wishes for/ a Merry Christmas 2000!/ Charles F. Bryan, Jr./". So, to recap, twice signed by the lead editor and signed once by the co-editor. Contents consist of a preface, a prologue, nine chapters, chapter seven being "Prison Train to Andersonville" and chapter eight being "This Hell on Earth"; an epilogue, note on sources, editorial method, acknowledgments and an index. Volume itself has crimson covers and sharp gilt lettering on the spine; 319 pages printed on high quality paper. In the end, against all odds, Robert Knox Sneden, survivied the Civil War and returned to Washington, and found a notation of "missing, believed dead' in his service record and corrected it by hand. He spent the remainder of his life perfecting one of the richest and most detailed descriptions ever written of soldier life in the Civil War, and the only fully illustrated account of life inside Andersonville. There is a small black line about 1/4 of an inch inside the front cover at the bottom. Balance of work is pristine, having never been used nor read. A very nice, editors signed copy; available for immediate shipment, carefully packed in a sturdy box. Signed By Both Editors.
