Never intended to read this book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I bought this book to resell, no intention of reading. A month has now passed and it is still not for sale. The photos and captions are amazing, they gave me a perspective, awareness and insight that was akin to being there. I have never been a "buff" even though I grew up along a section of Bull Run. It was not unusual to find cannon balls, bullets and even buttons and buckles. I just never felt the impact until I went through the book's 4000 photos and read the captions. It was like meeting the people and feeling the cascade of emotions and events that resulted in a strange insanity. Many of the issues may now be resolved but we still reel from the impact. You don't have to be a Civil War or history buff to enjoy this book. If you can lift it from the table to your lap, you won't put it down 'til your knees go numb...
