This volume, the seventh in a nine-volume series about the Civil War, provides a view of the ugly side of a war, where more people were victims of disease than of direct combat wounds.

Included are complete works by Leander Stillwell, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, George Alfred Townsend, Matthew Brady, and Alexander Gardner showing the perspectives of generals, as well as those of ordinary combatants. The narratives are especially compelling when read along with the photographs of Matthew Brady, one of the first to wok as a war photographer.
