Nor Shall Your Glory Be Forgot: An Essay in Photographs

5 reviews

St Martins Pr, 1999

...anxiously awaiting this finished masterpiece.
I am a salesperson for a professional photography house in Nashville Tennessee. Over the past few months I've had the fortune of waiting on and somewhat getting to know Kris. A few months ago, he mentioned to me that he had a book going to press sometime in April or May. When asked what it was about, he told me that it was a collection of photos of Civil War reenactments shot as if the ...

Fantastic "Then and Now" photographs and stories
I consider this an outstanding piece of work. For anyone who love early photography and comparing historical photographs with contemporary views, this is great work. Resulting in many hours of field work and re-photographing the areas in modern times, many historical facts were uncovered. It is like a fresh look at the photography of the Little Bighorn. After reading this book and viewing the ...

Civil War Journal: The Battles (Civil War Journal)

2 reviews

Thomas Nelson, 1998

The perfect reference book that I would recommend to anyone.
A really good book even if your not really a history buff. The book touches on many different things not just the battles, such things as the foot soldier's life, the Iron Brigade, Gettysburg: the civilians. The book however still talks about many important and significant battles of the war like, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Vicksburg, First Manassas, and Fort Sumpter. Every topic you read ...

The Reno Court of Inquiry: Abstract of the Official Record of Proceedings (The Custer Library)

Stackpole Books, 1995

Benteen, Reno, Varnum Come Alive: Great for Custer Pros
A surprisingly good read. W. A. Graham's well edited book of testimony is fascinating. The inquiry report was supressed for many years until Graham came along. The Reno and Benteen passages are quite revealing of the men themselves. Reno reveals what he really thinks of Custer and Benteen's sarcasm concerning Custer's order for him on that day is so apparent one wishes he was challenged more ...

A Duryee Zouave

Review of Duryee Zouave
A Duryee Zouave by Thomas Southwick is an easy read and a first hand account of a 5th NY Civil War soldier who at 5'1" joins the special unit Duryee formed in 1861 at the outbreak of the Civil War in NYC. As a 5th Zouave re-enactor I have especially enjoyed reading about the events of the 5th through the eyes of Southwick who served with Duryee's Zouaves.

The Soldier's View: The Civil War Art of Keith Rocco

Robert I. Girardi

Military History Pr Llc, 2004

An outstanding collection of Civil War Art
A must-have for any Civil War Buff! As one of the premier Civil War Artists of this generation, a mere compilation of Keith Rocco's work would be satisfying enough, but the accompanying text highlights the outstanding clarity and depth of his work. The concise but detailed explanations help the amateur historian more fully understand the context and background of each painting, while the ...

William J. Miller, Brian C. Pohanka

Time-Life Books, 2000

Wonderful book....
Nothing fascinates the student of American history quite like the Civil War and this book, with it's beautiful illustrations and illuminating essays, does much to bolster that fascination. Readers are introduced to the Civil War's unforgettable cast of characters: Lee, Jackson, Grant, and even the nameless legions of soldiers whose faces grace the photographs and whose courage and determination ...

James M. McPherson, Brian C. Pohanka

Belle Grove Publishing Company, 2000

History Comes Alive
This book is a great addition to the serious Civil War reader's library. Being able to read the battle descriptions, thoughts and feelings of those who actually participated in the war is always enlightening, bringing the reader a different reality than that of the historian who writes about the Civil War with the benefit of hindsight and without the benefit of personal experience. The ...

Don Troiani, Brian C. Pohanka

Stackpole Books, 1999

A must-have book
A quick glance of the customer reviews tells one that this book is something special. Page after page of astounding paintings complemented by capable text. The detail of Don Troiani's artwork is such that you can literally spend hours examining them, and if you let others look at the book you can grow impatient trying to get it back!

Billy Heath: The Man Who Survived Custer's Last Stand

Vincent J. Genovese, Brian C. Pohanka

Prometheus Books, 2003

Mystery is an Integral Part of the Battle of the Little Bigh
I don't know if Billy Heath survived the Battle of the Little Bighorn, but as a student of the battle and of Custer, I enjoy considering the "what ifs" of history. For a long time History (with a capital H) was only about the great, a contradiction to the principles of our democratic society. Now we have in addition the recuperation of the lives of others, such as the enlisted man Billy Heath. ...

Campaigns of the 146th Regiment New York State Volunteers
Mary G. Brainard

North Country Books, 2000

No Northern state provided more men for the Union war effort than New York. In the early autumn of 1862, with the Federal armies hard-pressed by a determined foe, and ranks depleted by battle and disease, the Empire State answered the call for volunteers. The "Fifth Oneida" Regiment-the 146th New York Volunteer Infantry-was conceived with a sense of patriotic obligation. War was a grim business-casualty lists from the recent bloodbath at ...

Civil War Journal: The Legacies (Civil War Journal)

3 reviews

Thomas Nelson, 1999

A great reference to the behind the scenes Civil War
A very interesting reference book, however I would not recomend it to the reader who is more interested in the battles or leaders in the war. The book touched on a lower level not often heard about the Civil War, such as women in the war, slaves, trains in the war, and photogriphers in the war. I for one am not to interested in these topics but still found the book very readable. It is a ...

Fighting for Time: The Battle of Monocacy
Glenn, H. Worthington

Burd Street Press, 2007

In the summer of 1864, General Jubal A. Early led about 15,000 Confederates on a daring sweep through Maryland. The savage battle proved to be one of the most decisive engagements of the Civil War. The hard-marching Confederate troops of General Early were embarked on a desperate gamble - an invasion of the North meant to take the pressure off Robert E. Lee's besieged forces at Petersburg. Early's goal was nothing less than the seat of the ...
