The American Civil War remains to this day, one of the bloodiest battles ever waged — three million fought and 600,000 died. In the beginning, it split apart the country; in the end, it united it. Now armchair soldiers can explore this endlessly fascinating era in the Timeline of the Civil War. This innovative volume chronicles the war as it happened, year-by-year, detailing key events such as the Battle of Bull Run, the surrender of Robert E. Lee, and the assassination of President Lincoln. Each chapter includes interesting, accessible text, box features, full-color artworks, and incredible archival photographs. At the bottom of text pages, a timeline linking events happening elsewhere at the time provides context and intrigue. At the back of the book, an 8-page double-sided gatefold timeline profiles key events throughout the war in a unique graphic representation, with cut-out images and color keys under various themes and headings., ISBN13: 9781592237227 ISBN10: 1592237223 Material Type: hardcover
