From the Author:
In this volume, our goal was to use Civil War newspapers to tell the story of the war as it was happening. Our desire was to exhibit a large variety of newspapers, both Northern and Southern, that show how each side in this conflict perceived the progress of the war and conveyed this assessment to its readers. Many of the newspapers and broadsides illustrated in this book are unique copies in private hands. All have been selected for their large headlines, visual appeal, rarity, or graphic text appeal. We have tried to include as many of the major battles and personalities of the war as space allowed. We have added captions to explain the significance of each newspaper. It is the hope of the authors that the readers of this volume will enjoy this unique approach to history and will be stimulated to even more interest in the American Civil War. –Dr. Stephen A. Goldman and Mr. Eric C. Caren

These newspapers bring history alive by revealing how events of the time were actually perceived and described by those in that era.Both Union and Confederate causes are represented, with large headlines, woodcut engravings, patriotic rhetoric and impassioned vitriol that flowed from the pens of those not-so-neutral newspapermen covering the conflict. Newspapers were then the primary means of mass communication and played a unique role in informing the interested public about the latest battles, troop movements, promotions in rank and casualty reports. This is our heritage in contemporary documentation. It is history at its source. All readers, especially Civil War buffs, will enjoy seeing the dramatic woodcut engravings, as well as the massive number of first hand accounts telling of the events, both large and small, of this tragic episode in our nations history.
