A Bible, an officer's mess kit, a cane arm chair and a
blood-stained note... at first glance, these items might not seem
to have much in common. But on closer examination they prove to be
some of the most interesting artifacts from the Civil War. This
volume searches out and details memorabilia in museums spread over
21 states and the District of Columbia. Beginning with an overview
of the Civil War, the book provides a state-by-state guide to
various museums and historical societies with particular focus on
matchless Civil War objects in their collections. Chapters provide
the description of each museum and details on how each artifact
came to be in that location. A chronological narrative centering on
each rare item is then provided, placing the object within the
timeline of the war and linking it to a specific event. An appendix
contains a guide to battles which are known by various names.
