Reader reviews for Houses of Civil War America: The Homes of Robert E. Lee, Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Clara Barton, and Others Who Shaped the Era

From the publisher

A revealing historical and photographic tour of the homes of influential Civil War figures, including Robert E. Lee, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Clara Barton, Stonewall Jackson, and others.

Timed to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the Civil War and a fitting sequel to Houses of the Presidents, Houses of Civil War America takes readers into the daily lives of the most important historical figures in the nation-defining conflict. From modest abolitionist homes to the plantations of the antebellum south. Howard and Straus bring the most intimate moments of the war to life. With insightful narrative and gorgeous photography, Houses of Civil War America demonstrates -- through these landmark homes -- the nation we were and the nation we became.
