Bruce Catton, whose name is identified with Civil War history, grew
up in Benzonia, Michigan, probably the only town within two hundred
miles, he says, not founded to cash in on the lumber boom. In this
memoir, Catton remembers his youth, his family, his home town, and
his coming of age. With nostalgia, warmth, and humor, Catton
recalls it all with a wealth of detail: the logging industry and
its tremendous effect on the face of the state, the veterans of the
Grand Army of the Republic who first sparked his interest in the
Civil War, the overnight train trips on long-gone sleepers, the
days of great resort hotels, and fishing in once clear lakes.
Although he writes of a time and place that are no more, his
observations have implications that both underline the past and
touch the future.
Infinitely readable and absorbing, Bruce Catton's The Civil War is
one of the best-selling, most widely read general histories of the
war available in a single volume. Newly introduced by the
critically acclaimed Civil War historian James M. McPherson, The
Civil War vividly traces one of the most moving chapters in
American history, from the early division between the North and the
South to the final surrender of Confederate troops. Catton's
account of battles is carefully interwoven with details about the
political activities of the Union and Confederate armies and
diplomatic efforts overseas. This new edition of The Civil War is a
must-have for anyone interested in the war that divided America.
This is a new release of the original 1961 edition.
