This anthology is dedicated to honor and preserve from oblivion the great courage, the sacrifices and the ultimate devotion of all Americans during the Civil War - the soldiers, the volunteers, the medical stuff and the civilians who supported the troops. In the hope this great divide and bloodthirsty hatred never emerges again in our nation, we honor the people who gave their lives or sacrificed everything they could offer in order to serve the greater good in which they believed.
The edition includes the vivid memoirs of hundreds of veterans, diaries of officers and nurses, memorizing narratives of prisoners of war and their daring escapes, incredible memories of women in battlefield masked in men's uniform, thrilling testimonies of spies. This anthology presents a unique opportunity for every patriot to experience and learn about the Civil War through the varied lenses of individuals who experienced it firsthand.
