Written by one of the foremost illustrators of the Civil War period, we are treated to a beautiful pictorial of on-the-spot etchings of the day-to-day lives of the soldiers. Captured in these 40 rare and detailed plates is the hard, wearing nature of the conflict: the army in action in a pine woods at night, weary men dragging an artillery battery through the spring mud, pickets trading for coffee and tobacco, soldiers buying newspapers to read of "news from the front", and more. Accompanied by the artist's simple, factual commentary, additional text by an army historian, this treasury is a splendid text-and-picture recreation of the war as seen through a soldier's eyes. An important addition to the library of every Civil War enthusiast, this book is also a valuable source of copyright-free illustrations for use in graphic projects.
