Synopsis
In this beautifully produced compilation are the biographies of fifty famed commanders from both the Union and the Confederacy, accompanied by lifelike portraits and more than seventy full-color and duotone full-page battle scenes, including images from Currier & Ives and the treasured Kurz and Allison series. This highly anticipated commemorative edition brings a classic American history book back in stock for the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War on April 12, 1861. The biographies and captions in this indispensable collector's item are derived from nineteenth-century publications written for a popular audience when many Civil War heroes were still alive, and they contain fascinating first-person narratives and anecdotes that might not otherwise have survived. The heroes' two thousand-word histories are supplemented with separate lists of their important battles, independent commands, and dates of rank, to aid the reader in following a general's career. Each exciting battle picture is presented in proper chronological order, identified by the names both sides used, and shows its correct date. The essential maps indicate the sites of all important engagements, and carefully selected illustrations from official atlases and ordnance manuals help the reader identify the major sidearms and field weapons pictured, as well as uniforms and insignia. Colorful vignettes and patriotic drawings taken from troops' writing paper and envelopes complete this enriching volume--a must-have for history buffs on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line., This remarkable volume is compiled and illustrated almost entirely from nineteenth-century sources and brings together rare Civil War memorabilia previously known to only a few specialists. Featured here are fifty striking full-colors portrait reproductions of legendary Union and Confederate soldiers and a complete set of the famous Kurz and Allison Battles of the Civil War . In addition—to bring the total battles pictured to seventy—these scarce prints have been complemented by Currier & Ives scenes and an exceedingly rare set of forty almost-photographic chromos."
