"As a historian, I am acutely conscious of the importance of place as well as time in our understanding of the past. One must walk the battlefields of the Civil War to know and appreciate what happened there. The same is true of historic houses, which take on the character of the people who lived there. This splendid narrative and photographic tour of homes inhabited by obscure as well as important figures in the Civil War era offers enlightenment as well as entertainment."-- James M. McPherson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era
Photographed by
Straus, Roger, III
Synopsis
A revealing historical and photographic tour of the homes of influential Civil War figures, including Robert E. Lee, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Clara Barton, Stonewall Jackson, and others. Timed to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the Civil War and a fitting sequel to Houses of the Presidents , Houses of Civil War America takes readers into the daily lives of the most important historical figures in the nation-defining conflict. From modest abolitionist homes to the plantations of the antebellum south. Howard and Straus bring the most intimate moments of the war to life. With insightful narrative and gorgeous photography, Houses of Civil War America demonstrates -- through these landmark homes -- the nation we were and the nation we became.

    Great book on Civil War era houses

    If you are interested in homes built and occupied during the Civil War, then this book is a must for your library. I actually visited Longwood, which is prominently featured on the cover, and was pleased to see it and the story about it in this book. The photos and accompanying story about the homes are fantastic. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.
