The Civil War years : a day-by-day chronicle
More Americans died during the Civil War than in any other war in the history of the United States. In this day-by-day chronicle of the war, relive the courage and conflicts of our divided nation as North and South struggle both to destroy and to survive. From the diaries, letters, and books of soldiers and civilians, from newspaper reports and historical archives, the events of the war are told exactly as they happened. With background information on the population of America, its society and economics, the issue of states' rights, and even medical practices of the day, Robert E. Denney sets the scene that was the country at that time, and annotates the days and months of the war.[Book jacket]
