During the Civil War, James Madison Page was
a prisoner in dierent places in the South. Seven
months o that time was spent at Andersonville.
While there he became well acquainted with
Major Wirz, or Captain Wirz, as he then ranked.
Page takes the stand that Captain Wirz was un-
justly held responsible or the hardship and mortality o Andersonville. It was his
belie that the Federal authorities must share the blame or these things with the
Conederate, since they well knew the inability o the Conederates to meet thereasonable wants o their prisoners o war, as they lacked a supply or their own
needs, and since the Federal authorities ailed to exercise a humane policy in the
exchange o those captured in battle. The writer, with malice toward none and
charity or all, denies conscious prejudice, and makes the sincere endeavor to
put himsel in the other ellows place and make such a statement o the matter in
hand as will satisy all lovers o truth and justice.

During the Civil War, over 13,000 Union sol-
diers died at Andersonville Prison. Ater the
war, the prison keeper, Captain Henry Wirz,
was tried, convicted and sentenced to death.
Later the Georgia Division o the United
Daughters o the Conederacy challenged
the acts as they were recorded in the trial o
Wirz, proclaimed him a martyr and erected a monument in his honor. These events
precipitated a written request rom the National Association o Union Prisoners o
War to General Chipman to publish the evidence reported at the trial o Captain
Wirz.

The Crisisof

The BATTleof geTTysBurg
This account o Gettysburg was written by
Haskell to his brother, shortly ater the battle,
and was not intended or publication. This act
ought to be borne in mind in connection with
some severe refections cast by the author upon
certain ocers and soldiers o the Union army.
The present text ollows the unabridged reprint
o the Wisconsin Historical Commission; andthe notes on Haskells estimates o numbers
and losses have been supplied by Colonel Tho-
mas L. Livermore, the well-known authority
on this subject. The book also contains seven historical civil war documents. Re-
printed rom the Harvard Classics edition o 1910
Cecil Bettine was a Captain in the 15th The
Kings Hussars in England. He observed the
American Civil War with sincere appreciation
o both the outnumbered Conederate Army
and the powerul Union Army.
Bettine ocuses on two areas in particular- The
Wilderness, and Gettysburg. He contends that
a rapid counterattack ater the Conederate
victory in The Wilderness could have turned
the tide against the North at this early juncture,
and changed the outcome o the war.
The detailed accounting o Gettysburg covers the days leading up to this nal,
bloody battle, and concludes with Lees surrender. This in-depth review o each
army give the reader pause, how a single change o position, a more swit deploy-
ment, a reusal to delay a march, could still have given the Conederacy the upper
hand. Presented as it was originally published in 1905, Crisis o the Conederacy
oers the opinion that the audacity o the Conederacy could have won the war
had it not been or political and military incapacity in high places.

Moultrie in the summer o 1860. A Captain oArtillery, he served as second in command o the
garrison at the historic ort when the curtain rose
on the dramatic events leading to the outbreak o the War Between the States.
Doubleday also had the distinction o aiming the rst cannon red in response
to the bombardment o Fort Sumter. From letters, memoranda and documents,
Doubleday writes o his own recollections o the turbulent days o 1860 and 1861,
and when placed upon him to give his own opinion he endeavored to do so in the
spirit o Abraham Lincolns immortal sentiment: With malice toward none; withcharity for all.

thor participated in numerous battles, including
Bull Run, Williamsburg, Antietam and Freder-icksburg, in the capacity o Spy and as Field

The writing oHard Tack and Coffee was the
result o a reunion o Civil War veterans at a
White Mountain resort in 1881. There, the
author entertained listeners with stories o his
personal experiences o army lie. Unlike his-
tories written o the Civil War whose subjectsare battles or the campaigns o generals, this
book is an attempt to record daily army lie in
detail. Hard Tack and Coee relates stories
about enlisting, lie in tents, and oenses and punishments or soldiers in the
Engineering and Signal Corps.
Charles W. Reed illustrated this version with six engraved plates and over two
hundred original sketches. refecting many o the sights and scenes rom the era.
In early 1864, Robert E. Lee began experiment-
ing with tactical innovations or the upcoming
spring campaign. To this end, he ordered the
organization o sharpshooter battalions. Wil-
liam S. Dunlop was appointed commander o
one o these battalions. InLees Sharpshooters
he chronicles the training processes, the ord-nance tests and the marksmanship exercises
the soldiers went through to become skilled
and condent skirmishers. Robert E. Lees decision didnt turn the tide o the war,
but it did give rise to the specialized soldier whose intelligence, marksmanship
and unaltering courage was remarkable.

Thomas Stonewall Jackson was deemed to
be one o the most brilliant commanders o his
time. He had a skillul, though sometimes pe-culiar, style o ghting. It was oten his well-
conceived plans that provoked movements or
sudden scurries which would turn the tide o a
battle in the Conederate avor, or ward o a disastrous deeat. He was a deeply
religious man, and a air and just ocer. His charisma inspired condence in his
troops, ring up their enthusiasm or the cause while earlessly and courageously
obeying his every command. Soldiers rom both the North and South revered
Jackson as a man noble in heart and chivalric in action.
The view o General George Armstrong Custer
has changed in the past century since his death
at the Little Big Horn. This history, written in
the late 1800s, speaks o the general in glowing
terms and honors him or his military genius, the
nobility o his lie, and his sincerity and bravery.

The Life of Stonewall Jackson was written
while John Esten Cooke was encamped with
General Thomas Jackson and his troops dur-
ing the Civil War. Cook combines his personal
observations o the General with inormation
taken rom ocial papers, contemporary nar-
ratives and personal acquaintances.
John Esten Cooke examines Jacksons lie
rom birth, through his career at West Point, as well as his exploits during the
Civil war. He describes how the so-called Stonewall Brigade, combined with
troops led by Robert E. Lee, deeated Gen. George B. McClellan and three Union
armies at the Battle o Richmond. He examines how Jackson deeated General
John Pope, ensuring a Conederate victory at the Second Battle o Bull Run, on to
the battle o Chancellorsville on May 2, 1863, where, in a tragic accident, he was
shot and atally wounded by riendly re.
Massachusetts bore a prominent part in the
Civil War. From the beginning to the end thisstate urnished soldiers or the army, sailors
or the navy, and nancial aid to the govern-
ment. Advanced ideas, which though scoed
at in the early months o the war, were ater-
wards accepted by the nation beore the war
could be brought to a successul end.
