War in America found its most haunting chronicler in the camera lens. Here, the conflict stares back. In The Photographic History Of The Civil War (Volume II), historian Henry W. Elson guides readers through a civil war photo book that unites stark images with vivid narrative, forming an illustrated civil war history unlike any modern overview. Drawn from an american war photography collection of remarkable breadth, these scenes of civil war battlefields, encampments, commanders and ordinary soldiers reveal the human face of the nineteenth century civil war far beyond dates and statistics. Elson pairs portraits of the Union and Confederate armies with clear accounts of the military campaigns and battles they fought, making this american military history book both a gripping civil war documentary companion and a trusted reference for history buffs and for civil war students alike. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today, a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For casual readers drawn to the american civil war era and for serious collectors of classic illustrated history, Volume II stands as a powerful visual chronicle and a significant milestone in how a nation first saw, recorded, and remembered its own war.
