The Civil War: The First Year Told By Those Who Lived It
Edited by Brooks D. Simpson, Stephen W. Sears & Aaron Sheehan-Dean
Hardcover, 815 pages ($37.50)
The first of four volumes to be released over the next four years, this history-rich collection chronicles the opening 14 months of the war through the letters, speeches, diary entries, military transmissions, newspaper reports, memoirs and poems of a spectrum of Americans—white and black, soldiers and civilians, men and women—whose voices come hauntingly alive on the 150th anniversary of a bloody conflict that would shape our nation forever.
