Civil War (A Library Of Congress Book)

During the years 1861 to 1865, America was a nation torn apart by war. From terrible land combat to fierce battles at sea; from mothers losing sons to brothers fighting brothers - this was a conflict that profoundly affected all that it touched . . . and changed our nation forever. From the archives of the Library of Congress, here are over one hundred vintage posters, paintings, and photographs that bring the events of the Civil War vividly to life. Witness the scenes and encounter the words of those caught up in a nation at war with itself. Ages 8 and up.
