Hard Cover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : DJ Very Good. Private Robert Knox Sneden (illustrateur). 2nd Printing. 352pp. From Publisher's Weekly: "Shortly after the firing on Fort Sumter in 1861, 29-year-old Robert Sneden joined the 40th New York Volunteer Infantry. Sneden's prewar career as an architect/engineer attracted the attention of higher officers, and the young Canadian was detached as a cartographer for most of his brief military career, seeing action in the Second Manassas and on a few other occasions. On November 27, 1863, Sneden was seized by rebel troops led by the famed John S. Mosby and hustled south to a Richmond prison. In early 1864, he was among the first batch of Union prisoners sent to Andersonville, Ga., where more than 13,000 prisoners died. After transfers to other Southern camps, Sneden was finally exchanged in December 1864. Throughout his army career, Sneden kept a journal and sketched numerous sites of his experiences. Although the journal itself has disappeared, a very journal-like postwar memoir of some 5,000 pages based on his wartime experience and heavily illustrated by him has been found. Editors (Charles F.) Bryan and (Nelson D.) Lankford, of the Virginia Historical Society (which owns the Sneden collection), have excerpted the more important sections of this compellingly straightforward account and provided more than 70 color illustrations of battle fields, city layouts and other scenes that caught Sneden's precise, cartographic eye. Summaries fill in blanks from the larger work, and brief identifications of period people and terms are helpfully included, but it's really the pictures that tell the best story here. The end result is a pleasing palate of vivid (if not quite reflective) descriptions and terrific watercolors from a patriotic man. Size: Wide Large Octavo.

hardcover. Etat : Very Good in Dustjacket. New York. 2000. Free Press. 2nd Printing. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0684863650. Illustrated by The Author. Edited by Charles F. Bryan Jr. , James C. Kelly, & Nelson D. Lankford. 329 pages. hardcover. keywords: Civil War History America Autobiography Military. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Eye of the Storm is one of the most important Civil War documents to be published since Ulysses S. Grant's Personal Memoirs. In 1994, four tattered scrapbooks were found in a Connecticut bank vault, yielding a treasure trove of more than five hundred watercolors that vividly depict America's greatest national drama. These scrapbooks -- plus a five-thousand-page illustrated memoir that was also discovered -- are the life's achievement of a long-forgotten Union private and mapmaker named Robert Knox Sneden. Sneden enlisted in the Union army after the fall of Fort Sumter. As a soldier and mapmaker, he witnessed many of the most famous battles of the war. His map of the second battle of Bull Run offers a detailed firsthand account of this pivotal moment. Captured by the notorious Captain Mosby in 1863, Sneden spent most of the rest of the war as a prisoner at the infamous Andersonville prison camp. Sneden's chronicle is one of the richest descriptions of soldier life and the only fully illustrated eyewitness account of existence inside this notorious prison. inventory #28795.

Grant's Personal Memoirs. Four tattered scrapbooks found in a Connecticut bank vault in 1994 yielded a treasure trove of more than five hundred watercolors that vividly depict America's great national drama. These scrapbooks~plus a five~thousand~page illustrated memoir that came to light later~are the life's achievement of a long~forgotten Union private and mapmaker named Robert Knox Sneden. Sneden joined the Union army after the fall of Fort Sumter, in the jubilant, patriotic summer of 1861, and first served as a soldier, drilling, going out on picket, and seeing a few skirmishes. By 1862, however, he had parlayed his talent for sketching into a coveted appointment as a map~maker at corps headquarters of the Army of the Potomac. For nearly two years, Sneden was in a singular position to see many of the Civil War's greatest campaigns firsthand, including the Peninsula campaign and the vicious fighting of the Seven Days, as well as the second battle of Bull Run. On the evening of November 26,1863, however, he had a "premeditation that something would happen before morning." Later that night, isolated behind the lines near Brandy Station, Virginia, with a small band of poorly armed men, he was surprised and captured by the celebrated Colonel John Mosby. Bareback on mules and in filthy cattle cars, Sneden and a dozen other soldiers were transferred south as prisoners of war, first to Richmond, then to the notorious Andersonville prison camp. In Andersonville, 30,000 prisoners of war were crammed onto a patch of ground that provided them each with, as one historian calculated, "about the square footage of a grave." It was indeed a graveyard for many. Built over a filthy, fetid stream, it swelled to become the fifth~largest city in the South, completely overrunning its meager capacities for food and sanitation. Groups of prisoners preyed on the innocent; starving men despaired of survival. Sneden persevered, hiding his diary and his sketches in his clothing and shoes, and faithfully recording everything he saw. In the end, against all odds, he survived. Retuming to Washington, he found a notation of "missing, believed dead" in his service record and corrected it by hand. He spent the remainder of his life perfecting one of the richest and most detailed descriptions ever written of soldier life in the Civil War, and the only fully illustrated account of life inside Andersonville. A must~have for anyone interested in the subject, Robert Knox Sneden's Eye of the Storm is a permanent addition to Civil War literature and art, and a lasting achievement in human expression of the horrors of war. We know little about Private Robert Knox Sneden beyond the pages of his memoir. He returned horne to new York after his release from Andersonville and died alone in an oLd soldiers' home in 1918.

Sneden's drawing of rebel batteries shelling the headquarters of the 111 Corps, April 1862. keywords: Civil War History Art America Military. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Robert Knox Sneden's memoir Eye of the Storm was accompanied by a sample of his artwork. In all, however, he crafted some 900 watercolors and sketches. Now, with the 300 watercolors, sketches, maps, and diagrams in Images from the Storm, his artistic legacy can be appreciated on its own terms -- an achievement equal in magnitude to his writings, and unsurpassed by any other Civil War soldier-artist. Images from the Storm presents the best of Sneden's art throughout his odyssey of combat, capture, imprisonment, and deliverance, a pictorial record of the war that puts the viewer in the shoes of a Union soldier as nothing else can. Sneden aimed for vivid detail and documentary accuracy in his maps, landscapes, battles, and scenes of camp life. He sketched the camps and surroundings of the Union army, the siege of Yorktown, the battle of Williamsburg, the approach of the army to within sight of the church spires of Richmond, and the tumultuous fighting retreat of the Seven Days' battles as the Union army shrank before a relentless Confederate offensive. He drew dozens of maps and sketched daily life around Washington, D.C., before his capture in autumn 1863. For the next thirteen months, Sneden was a prisoner of the Confederacy. In a drafty tobacco warehouse in Richmond, he sketched prison life and Confederate scenes before being packed with others aboard cattle cars for a jolting train ride south. In a remote corner of rural Georgia, he survived the outdoor prison at Andersonville and drew some of his most astonishing images of camp life and its suffering. When Andersonville was evacuated, he continued to make secret pencil sketches of Confederate prisons. inventory #31017.

Now, with the 300 watercolors, sketches, maps, and diagrams in Images from the Storm, his artistic legacy can be appreciated on its own terms~an achievement equal in magnitude to his writings, and unsurpassed by any other Civil War soldier~artist. Images from the Storm presents the best of Sneden's art throughout his odyssey of combat, capture, imprisonment, and deliverance, a pictorial record of the war that puts the viewer in the shoes of a Union soldier as nothing else can. Sneden aimed for vivid detail and documentary accuracy in his maps, landscapes, battles, and scenes of camp life. He sketched the camps and surroundings of the Union army, the siege of Yorktown, the battle of Williamsburg, the approach of the army to within sight of the church spires of Richmond, and the tumultuous fighting retreat of the Seven Days' battles as the Union army shrank before a relentless Confederate offensive. He drew dozens of maps and sketched daily life around Washington, D.C., before his capture in autumn 1863. For the next thirteen months, Sneden was a prisoner of the Confederacy. In a drafty tobacco warehouse in Richmond, he sketched prison life and Confederate scenes before being packed with others aboard cattle cars for a jolting train ride south. In a remote corner of rural Georgia, he survived the outdoor prison at Andersonville and drew some of his most astonishing images of camp life and its suffering. When Andersonville was evacuated, he continued to make secret pencil sketches of Confederate prisons in Savannah and Millen, Georgia, and in Florence and Charleston, South Carolina. Finally freed in a massive prisoner exchange in Charleston harbor, he returned home to New York at Christmas 1864. He made little use of his architectural training thereafter, but devoted himself to compiling his memoir of the war and converting his pencil sketches into watercolors. A solitary man who never married, Sneden died at an old soldiers' home in Bath, New York, in 1918. His watercolors and his story were forgotten for nearly a century. Images from the Storm reproduces the best of Sneden's art in sharp colors, so we can appreciate fully the mastery of a miniaturist who saw it all, and sketched whenever and wherever he could.
