From the rear cover

"This anthology of short stories offers fascinating glimpses of the Civil War as most Americans at the time experienced it--by reading about incidents on the battlefront and elsewhere in popular magazines. Modern readers can project themselves back to that heroic and sentimental time more effectively through this medium of popular literature than in any other way."--James M. McPherson, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era"
