Between 1861 and 1865, the clash of the greatest armies the Western hemisphere had ever seen turned
small towns, little-known streams, and obscure meadows in the American countryside into names we will
always remember. In those great battles streams ran red with blood, and the United States was truly
born.
Leading Civil War historian Professor Gary W. Gallagher richly details the effects of the Civil War on
all Americans. You'll learn how armies were recruited, equipped, and trained. You'll learn about the
hard lot of prisoners. You'll hear how soldiers on both sides dealt with the rigors of camp life,
campaigns, and the terror of combat. You'll understand how slaves and their falling masters responded
to the advancing war. And you will see the desperate price paid by the families so many left behind.
