A concise reference compiles little-known facts, photographs, uniform plates, battle chronologies, and statistical tables to present a multifaceted portrait of the American Civil War. It opens with human vignettes and unusual facts about participants, casualty and cost analyses, and accounts of soldier life, camp routine, and battlefield aftermath. A large illustrated section reproduces period photographs and color plates of Union and Confederate uniforms alongside technical displays of weaponry, field fortifications, transportation, and early aerial and signal reconnaissance. Chronologies, a battlefield map, a roster of local study groups, and a recommended reading list make the volume useful both for researchers and for new enthusiasts.
