Images of the Civil War in West Virginia

Authors Terry Lowry and Stan Cohen share a mutual love of the visual image of the Civil War, in both photographs and artwork. In this book they have produced a comprehensive compilation of historic images depicting West Virginia during the War Between the States. Images of the Civil War contains both never-before-published photographs as well as images that have been published, in such period magazines as Harper's Weekly and The New York Illustrated News. Because of the large number of images available, the authors decided to limit the focus of the book to photographs and drawings created from 1860 to 1865. An exception to this are the post-Civil War portraits of men who fought in the war, found in the chapter Carrying on the Memories. These are the most poignant and telling photographs in the book. Looking at the faces of these brave and aging men, you remember that their lives were forever altered by the bloody chapter that tore this nation apart.
