Overview
The Civil War is a story of the people who lived through it. In all, some two million men served in the armed forces of the United States, including the 18 featured here. These close-up studies show what it was like to be in the calvary, infantry, navy, engineering corps, marine revenue cutter service, heavy and light artillery, surgical corps, signal corps, and the corps d'Afrique. Accounts detail what the people actually did, what their military lives were like, and how they fit into the overall picture. The war was the major event in most of these men's lives, and it rarely left the participants the better for having been in it. 240 pages, 52 b/w illus., 6 1/4 X 9 1/4.Book Details
