Infos

This anthology is dedicated to honoring the extraordinary courage, sacrifices, and unwavering devotion of all Americans who participated in the Civil War—soldiers, volunteers, medical personnel, and civilians who supported the troops. In the hope that such a deep divide and bloodshed never again darken our nation, we pay tribute to those who gave their lives or sacrificed all they had in service of the greater good they believed in.
This monumental anthology captures a range of literary styles from gripping battlefield accounts to reflective diary entries and thoughtful memoirs. Through its rich diversity of narratives, the collection brilliantly encapsulates the profound juxtapositions of heroism and horror, camaraderie and conflict, and the moral complexities faced by those who lived through the tumultuous era. Standout pieces within the anthology highlight significant battles and personal struggles, providing a deeply humanistic view of history that is seldom seen in traditional accounts. The contributing authors of this anthology are a heterogeneous assortment of soldiers, generals, nurses, and civilians whose lives were irrevocably altered by the war. Figures such as Ulysses S. Grant, who shaped military strategy, and S. Emma E. Edmonds, who presents a rare female perspective on the conflict, underscore the collection's dedication to inclusive storytelling. Their voices, unified by their shared lived experiences, collectively enrich the reader's insight into this defining period. This anthology presents a unique opportunity to learn about the truth about the Civil War through the varied lenses of individuals who experienced it firsthand.
