Now, for the first time, The New York Times Complete Civil War offers a unique opportunity to experience all the battles, politics, and personal stories through daily, first~hand journalism. These pages, and the accompanying DVD~ROM present all the news that was fit to print about the Civil War, from reports of the first shot fired at Fort Sumter to the surrender at Appomattox. From a moving article written by a reporter whose son had just been killed during the battle at Gettysburg to a letter from a soldier who fought in hundreds of battles and skirmishes, plus detailed profiles of noted heroes such as Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee. More than six hundred crucial and fascinating articles have been handpicked by award~winning Civil War historians Harold Holzer and Craig L. Symonds. The book is organized chronologically beginning with the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin in 1852 and the Kansas~Nebraska Act of 1864 and ending with Lincoln's assassination and the beginning of Reconstruction. Holzer and Symonds introduce each chapter, guiding readers through the articles and discussing issues relating to polities, slavery, women, war tactics. and more. Footnotes throughout draw attention to details such as battle names and locations, give background information on officers, politicians, and other citizens, and point out the few instances where The Times reporting was incorrect.The enclosed DVD~ROM includes every single article published by The Times during the war. This incredible resource ties in perfectly with a complete chronology of the war that is included in the book. Originally printed by The Times at the end of each year of the war (except for 1865), the chronology highlights important military and political events of the previous twelve months. The New York Times Complete Civil War is filled with hundreds of political cartoons, illustrations, and engravings that appeared in Harper's Weekly and Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper: historical photographs from photojournalist Matthew Brady and others; and maps that appeared originally in The New York Times. The New York Times Complete Civil War is a fascinating and engrossing look at this pivotal and defining era in our nation's history.
