Reader reviews for The Civil War in 50 Objects

From the publisher

The American companion to A History of the World in 100 Objects, a fresh, visual perspective on the Civil War

From a soldier's diary with the pencil still attached to John Brown's pike, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the leaves from Abraham Lincoln's bier, here is a unique and surprisingly intimate look at the Civil War.

Lincoln scholar Harold Holzer sheds new light on the war by examining fifty objects from the New-York Historical Society's acclaimed collection. A daguerreotype of an elderly, dignified ex-slave; a soldier's footlocker still packed with its contents; Grant's handwritten terms of surrender at Appomattox--the stories these objects tell are rich, poignant, sometimes painful, and always fascinating. They illuminate the conflict from all perspectives--Union and Confederate, military and civilian, black and white, male and female--and give readers a deeply human sense of the war.
