The personal letters of Americans during the Civil War preserve
first-person records of news, people, and emotions that humanize
the horrific events of the war and provide unique insights into the
conflict's effects on individuals, families, communities, and
America. Often, however, only the letters sent home survived,
leaving half of the story missing. Between Home and the Front
presents previously unpublished letters from the Walters family's
collection held by the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum, which
include the exchange of correspondence between the home front and
front line, a perspective not often seen. Between Home and the
Front gives us a glimpse into the poignant questions, answers, and
sentiments Private David Walters of the 5th Indiana Calvary and his
wife Rachel shared in their correspondence. The letters from David
give details about some of the lesser-known actions of the western
theater of combat, such as Morgan's Raid. The letters by Rachel
Walters record how she managed the household and a young child
while becoming hub of communication for the family, often receiving
missives from David's brothers, Isaac and John Wesley, both of whom
served with Indiana units, and relaying the information to others.
From the early letters describing a Civil War soldier's enlistment
to his widow's struggle in the aftermath of the war, the letters of
the Walters family add incomparable details to the study of the
Civil War. Between Home and the Front offers not only unique
first-person accounts from those that experienced the Civil War but
also meticulous annotations that provide valuable historical
context for the events, people, and material culture described in
the letters.

Discover and explore the most incredible statues, monuments,
temples, bridges, and ancient cities with this unparalleled survey
of the most famous buildings and structures created by humans. From
Stonehenge to the Sagrada Familia, from the Great Wall of China to
the Burj Khalifa, Manmade Wonders of the Worldplots a
continent-by-continent journey around the world, exploring and
charting the ingenuity and imagination used by different cultures
to create iconic buildings. This truly global approach reveals how
humans have tackled similar challenges - such as keeping the enemy
out or venerating their gods - in vastly different parts of the
world. As writer, historian, and broadcaster Dan Cruickshank writes
in his foreword, "reading this book is like taking a journey
through the world not only of the present but also of the past,
because the roots of many wonders lie in antiquity." By combining
breathtaking photography with 3D cutaway artworks, floorplans, and
other illustrations, the hidden details and engineering innovations
that make each building remarkable are revealed. Featuring the most
visited monuments in the world - such as the Eiffel Tower, Taj
Mahal, and Machu Picchu - as well as some hidden gems, Manmade
Wonders of the World can help you to map out the trip of a lifetime
or simply be enjoyed as a celebration of the world that humans have
built over thousands of years.
