See the Civil War through the eyes of the people who lived through
it: spies, soldiers, generals, escaping slaves, nurses, and more.
When one thinks of the American Civil War, it is easy to conjure up
images of great generals developing brilliant strategies and
influential politicians making historic decisions; but there was a
great deal more going on... In this book, you will find Civil War
stories most people have never heard before, told by people who
actually lived during those momentous times. From intrepid young
men who went aloft in balloons and viewed the enemy's position, to
the joys and miseries of the private soldier, to the daring
activities of secret spies... Laugh as Sir Henry Morton Stanley
recounts his adventure, as a young private, raiding the farm of a
Unionist to "forage" for he and his messmates' Christmas dinner.
Or, be amazed as Sarah Edmonds tells how she disguised herself and
made her way deep within Confederate lines. These accounts and many
more make up this unique collection of amazing Civil War stories...
From camp pranks to close, bloody conflict; and from the jubilation
of victory to the misery of defeat, you can find it all in War
Stories: The American Civil War, Remembered by Those Who Were There
