Includes About the Book; Introduction; Epilogue: The Nation Reunited: Reconstruction; Appendix; Casualties of War, Selected Milestones, Vocabulary of War; Additional Reading; Illustration Credits; List of Maps; About the Contributors; Index; Acknowledgments & Staff Credits. Profusely illustrated with black-and-white photographs, color photographs and maps. Also includes upper gilt page edges, side gilt page edges and lower gilt page edges, plus a bound-into-the-volume red satin ribbon page marker. The front cover has a small indent just above the letter "N" in "Eyewitness". The volume is otherwise in as new condition. (see photographs). "In Eyewitness to the Civil War, National Geographic offers you an opportunity to experience the emotional history of this tragic era through the eyes and words of those who were there. A compelling narrative tells the complete history chronologically, starting with a prologue on secession, followed by five chapters organized by year and an epilogue on the difficult period of Reconstruction. To add to the eyewitness experience we pored over thousands of photographs, battle sketches, letters, maps, and artifacts from public and private collections around the country, carefully selecting more than 450 and placing them within the text exactly where key events unfold. Hundreds of quotes further define each critical event. Thirty "Eyewitness" boxes that feature an original letter, first-person account, or diary entry appear chronologically and provide an in-depth view of what life was like for soldiers and citizens. In addition, rare historical maps by Union cartographer Private Robert Knox Sneden are combined with period photographs and art in specially designed "Mapping the War" spreads to give the reader and eyewitness perspective on 11 major battles. Finally, we created sidebars and photo essays on significant topics such as slavery, soldier life, heavy artillery and other equipment, the cavalry, medicine, the role of music, and the assassination of Lincoln. When viewed together, these features, artfully designed and interwoven, add depth to the book, making it ideal to read from cover to cover or just to browse, experiencing a surprise on every page." - Neil Kagan, editor, excerpt from About This Book.

Description de la boutique

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
