The definitive firsthand narrative of our nation's greatest
conflict, now in a collector's boxed set: Has there ever been
another historical crisis of the magnitude of 1861 65 in which so
many people were so articulate? wondered Edmund Wilson in his 1962
classic "Patriotic Gore." Reflecting the unprecedented, widespread
literacy of nineteenth century Americans, an astonishing number of
writers white and black, male and female, soldiers and politicians,
public intellectuals and private citizens left vivid first-hand
accounts of the Civil War. For the last four years, to mark the
sesquicentennial of the most epochal event in American history, The
Library of America has published a four-volume series that
orchestrates this symphony of voices to chronicle as never before
the full drama of the nation s most devastating conflict, from
Lincoln s election in 186o to the Grand Review of the Armies in
1865. Now, in advance of the 150th anniversary of the war s
climactic final months, all four volumes are presented in a
beautiful collector s box. As a special feature, each box includes
four pull-out posters featuring full color maps by expert Civil War
cartographer Earl McElfresh. Here is the ultimate gift for anyone
interested in the Civil War era."
