It was also the first to be photographed on any scale and many of the telling photographs in the book are contemporary, a remarkable document in themselves. Illustrated with over 200 pictures pictures in color and black and white and with 5 maps, The divided Union is a lively and penetrating account of a war whose effects are still with us today. In one of the conflict's darkest moments Abraham Lincoln said that by it: 'We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last, best hope, of earth.'
