Product Description: The wonderful wordplay of J. Patrick Lewis breathes new life into the speeches of Lincoln, the letters of Grant and Lee, and the moving human drama of our country's Civil War. Lewis' poignant poetry gives young readers a vivid insight into the brutal conflict that tore America apart. The author draws on primary-source books and articles to inspire each poem, bringing the ordinary and extraordinary voices of the Civil War to light. The book also includes a note from the Photo Editor on the authentic period images used throughout. Readers experience history directly as it was lived by Americans in the 1860s.
Amazing photographic essay! This book provides a more personal view of the Civil War by integrating photos with letters and other more personal accounts of the war. Though it does not contain primary source documents, the author has done a wonderful job of adding a voice to the events by recreating these fictionalized documents.
