Book Description
Excerpt from Personal Experiences in the Civil War After much urging I have persuaded my uncle to write these Recollections of his army life, which I print, not so much as adding to the history of the period, though they are not without value for that, but mainly because of the personal interest in them which will be felt by all his relatives and friends. Such records should be cherished in the family for many generations. I have added in foot-notes a few quotations from letters, etc., which explain, or add interest to, the narrative.

Faces of the Civil War
Author: Ronald S CoddingtonPublisher: Johns Hopkins University Press+ORM
ISBN: 1421410397

Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Archival images and biographical sketches of Union soldiers tell the stories of their lives during and after the Civil War. Before leaving to fight in the Civil War, many Union and Confederate soldiers posed for a carte de visite, or visiting card, to give to their families, friends, or sweethearts. Invented in 1854 by a French photographer, the carte de visite was a small photographic print roughly the size of a modern trading card. The format arrived in America on the eve of the Civil War, fueling intense demand for the keepsakes. Many cards of Civil War soldiers survive today, but the experiences?and often the names?of the individuals portrayed have been lost to time. A passionate collector of Civil War–era photography, Ron Coddington researched the history behind these anonymous faces in military records, pension files, and other public and personal documents. In Faces of the Civil War, Coddington presents 77 cartes de visite of Union soldiers from his collection and tells the stories of their lives during and after the war. These soldiers came from all walks of life. All were volunteers. Their personal stories reveal a tremendous diversity in their experience of war: many served with distinction, some were captured, some never saw combat while others saw little else. The lives of survivors were even more disparate. While some made successful transitions back to civilian life, others suffered permanent physical and mental disabilities, which too often wrecked their families and careers. In compelling words and haunting pictures, Faces of the Civil War offers a unique perspective on the most dramatic and wrenching period in American history.
