America's great conflict was also the first war to be extensively documented with the new invention, photography. Now, noted expert William C. Davis compiles historic images, including many newly discovered and previously unpublished, to re-tell the story of the War Between the States. More than 2000 photographers plied their varying processes from 1861 to 1865, covering almost every aspect of the war and in every theater. The Civil War in Photographs presents more than 350 of these images. They portray the soldiers in camp, the battlefields, the ships and navies, the dashing cavalrymen, the big guns of the artillery, as well as the people at home; capturing the bravery, destruction, desolation, and self-sacrifice that define this war in ways no words can match.
