Civil War memories

America's Civil War has probably inspired more fictional treatments of wartime experience than all other American wars combined. Civil War Memories presents twenty-one stories and poems that are among the earliest efforts by some of America's most distinguished writers to capture the drama of the war while it was still fresh in the nation's memory. These rarely seen works of literature explore the War Between the States and its many different aspects from a wide variety of approaches and persepctives: northern and southern, military and civilian, male and female, realistic and fanciful. -- Provided by publisher.
