Sherman, 1860-65. 520 $a Spanning the crucial months from January 1863 to March 1864, this third volume of The Library of America's highly acclaimed four volume series presents an incomparable portrait of a nation at war with itself while illuminating the military and political events that brought the Union closer to victory and slavery closer to destruction. It brings together more than 140 contemporary letters, diary entries, speeches, articles, messages, and poems by more than eighty participants and observers, among them Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, Ulysses S. Grant, William T. Sherman, Robert E. Lee, Frederick Douglass, Walt Whitman, Herman Melville, Mary Chesnut, Clement Vallandigham, Henry Adams, Charlotte Forten, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, and George Templeton Strong, as well as Union officers Robert Gould Shaw, Charles B. Haydon, and Henry Livermore Abbott; Confederate diarists Catherine Edmondston, Kate Stone, and Judith McGuire; and Alabama soldier Samuel Pickens, Iowa housewife Catharine Peirce, Kentucky preacher George Richard Browder, and Kansas clergyman Richard Cordley. The selections include vivid and haunting eyewitness narratives of some of the war's most famous battles-Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Fort Wagner, Chickamauga, Chattanooga-as well as firsthand accounts of the merciless guerrilla war in Missouri and Kansas; the Richmond bread riot and the New York draft riots; the controversies surrounding the use of black soldiers and the Lincoln administration's curtailment of civil liberties; and the struggles of civilians both black and white to survive increasingly harsh wartime conditions. 650 0 $a Civil war. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Civil War, 1861-1865. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $v Personal narratives. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $v Sources. 700 1 $a Simpson, Brooks, $e editor. 941 $a 6 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204063744.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110045711.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006072039.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171222021051.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20140415021747.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20130803010210.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=200FDEDABA0011E2B3DA14B4DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
