The Navies (The Photographic History of the Civil War in Ten Volumes, Volume 6)

These volumes contain an American epic told in photographs and present the American Civil War from an entirely original viewpoint. The ten volumes contain thousands of scenes photographed between 1861-65 by Matthew B. Brady and many others. Each volume is divided into sections or chapters with articles written by many special authorities on the Civil War. However, the photographs themselves tell the real story of the tragedy of war. Each photograph is accompanied by additional text that identifies people, places or situations. These volumes provide a unique opportunity to "see" the realities of war not just read about the battles and the soldiers and their experiences or the statistics of troops, ammunition, victories and defeats. See the Civil War unfold before your eyes. All ten volumes share a subject, place and surname index. You can purchase each one separately or as a set. No Civil War buff should be without this!
