Published in conjunction with an exhibiton that ran from April 2, 2013- May 4, 2014 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and other venues. "If the "War Between the States" was the test of the young republic's commitment to its founding precepts, it was also a watershed in photographic history, as the camera recorded the epic, heartbreaking narrative from beginning to end-- providing those on the home front, for the first time, with immediate visual access to the horrors of the battlefield."- publisher.
