This book was written by James Campi Jr., published in 2002, the narrative is 143 pages and is illustrated with color, black and white photos and illustrations. Documenting the rise and fall of the Confederacy between 1861 and 1865 was a new figure on the battlefield, the photographer. The Civil War was the first major conflict to be recorded by cameras and men such as Matthew Brady, George Barnard and Timothy O'Sulivan made their names by capturing unforgettable images of death and destruction. Civil War Battlefields Then and Now uses many of these photographer's classic images and revisits the sites to show how they look today. Arranged chronologically, the book begins with the attack on Fort Sumter in 1861, journeys through the major battle sites in Virginia, and ends at Appomattox Courthouse in 1865, with the epitaph of the Lincoln assassination. This hard back book is in very good condition, with a dust jacket in good condition.
