4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Concise Collection with Great IllustrationsBy J. JamakayaI enjoyed this concise and diverse collection of Civil War letters and the illustrations that accompany it. I think that its brevity and the balance of letters from enlisted men; generals; President Lincoln; and family members at home make it ideal for the general reader. Short editor's notes add relevant context and sometimes reveal the fate of the letter writer.No one here has commented on the excellent illustrations of life in the camps and on the battlefronts. There are about 50 detailed etchings of the soldiering life that I thought really enhanced the letters. They are from Civil War Etchings (Dover Pictorial Archives) by Edwin Forbes; which was first published in 1890. I think this is a good collection at a reasonable price.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. home for the Civil WAR soldier.By Thomas J.
