About This Item
1867 CIVIL WAR History Abbott Illustrated Slavery Abe Lincoln Battle Maps RARE
John S. C. Abbott' writing style "did much to popularize the reading of history."
– Dictionary of American Biography
"History of the Civil War in America" is an extremely useful account of the Civil War and was published in a time wherein it would have been read as news rather than history. Though well researched, the author makes use of colorful narrative style giving these more the feel of a popular account than a sober and authoritative text. Features events leading to the cause of the conflict through Lincoln's assassination in April of 1865 and with a final chapter on the results of the conflict as of the date of publication.
Filled with incredible illustrations of maps, portraits, and scenes.
