123.00 The American Civil War in Maps and Prints:

The American Civil War is the most profound military experience to date in American history. It was waged throughout some 10,000 geographic places from New Mexico in the west through the entire southern half of the nation and into several northern states including Maryland and Pennsylvania. More than 600,000 men died in some of the most furious battles and hand-to-hand combat ever recorded with one of the most destructive cataclysms of warfare in American history. The story of this event has been told many times in various books and publications. Part of the documentation used to describe the conflicts, weaponry, and the affect on the people of this tragedy came from the illustrations of the war correspondent artist known as “special artists”. They captured, in field sketches, the human aspect of the conflict, the enormous destruction, and the determination of both sides to endure. Those men included Alfred Waud and Thomas Nast, although he was not part of the special artists group. Harper’s Weekly from the spring of 1861 until the summer of 1865 flashed in front of its readers the aguish and brutality of the Civil War skillfully reproduced through wood-block engravings. Other publications that made similar attempts to capture the war in images included The Illustrated London News, The History of the Civil War in America 1863-1866 by John S.C. Abbott and Harper’s History of the Great Rebellion / Harper’s Weekly, and Frank Leslie’s Weekly. The prints that follow were taken from these publications.
