About This Item
1862 EXQUISITE 1ed War with South CIVIL WAR Military Tomes Gettysburg MAPS
The American Civil War played an important role in the expansion and growth of book publication in the United States, as people were craving an understanding of the conflict. Robert Tomes began publishing a subscription book that would give insight to the war, but he believed his work would help end the battles quickly. It didn't. "The War with the South" saw print in dozens of separate parts during the height of the Civil War.
This collection of engravings was part of the original work – this tome contains illustrations including portraits of Ambrose Burnside, Ulysses S Grant, and battlefield maps of both Gettysburg and Antietam!
