A Pictorial History of the Civil War Years, written by respected historian Paul McClelland Angle, is one of the most fascinating pictorial volumes of its kind. Updated and with a new Introduction by award winning author and Civil War historian William C. Davis, this book presents a rare gallery of over 350 pictures, many never before published. The compelling text, a compact, masterly history of the war year by year, is accompanied by an exceptional collection of photographs – many reproduced in duotone – combat artists’ sketches, and other contemporary illustrations. Important figures, political and military – Grant, Lee, Lincoln, Dred Scott, Roger Taney, Stonewall Jackson, 18 year old Rebel Belle Boyd, among others – appear in authentic portraits. So do humbler figures – a mess boy filling canteens, liberated slaves flocking to the Union Army. Throughout the volume there are many poignant battlefield scenes at Fredericksburg, Vicksburg, Gettysburg, and Antietam, in addition to human interest highlights – pictures of Confederate camp entertainment , a Thanksgiving dinner at the front. This book, of enduring historic value, is an excellent pictorial record and a dramatic account of the Civil War Years. This book is in good condition. There is wear to the dust cover – please see picture - inside the book the binding is tight and there are no tears or markings. The book measures 10 ½ by 7 ½ with 241 pages.
