For nearly thirty years; Mort Kunstler has focused his considerable artistic talent on interpreting the Civil War through his paintings. In doing so; he has turned to leading historians and scholars for information that he has then translated on canvas to create an indelible image of this defining ordeal in America's history. More than 160 of those images--supplemented by preliminary sketches; early studies; and photographs of works in progress--are the basis for the four volumes in this series. Volume 4 follows the course of the war from the battle of Gettysburg (July 1-3; 1863) through the end of the war at Appomattox (April 9; 1865). The march through Virginia and Tennessee and Georgia; culminating at the battle of Chickamauga; the Atlanta campaign; the battles of Franklin and Nashville; Sherman's March to the Sea; the North's rampage through South Carolina; and battles through North Carolina all ended in a parlor in a house at an obscure railroad crossroads.

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A rich travel guideBy Peggy GammaPacked with information and fine photos. We will use the map to plan a 'history trip' from Maine to Georgia. The book covers the familiar houses of Washington; Adams; and Jefferson as well as many unknown to us; Paca; Iredell; William Jay - architect. The Visitor Information section provides the specifics of viewing the properties which are all open to the public. You will perhaps read it from front to back and then get in your car to see for yourself how the many founding fathers lived.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
