Storm Over the Land

A Profile of the Civil War

About this book

Writings on the American Civil War selected from the Pulitzer Prize–winning presidential biography Abraham Lincoln: The War Years, with illustrations and maps.
Ā 
Drawn from Carl Sandburg's magisterial biography of the sixteenth US president, this volume focuses in on the War Between the States, bringing the author's trademark clarity and vivid style to this dark and dramatic period in the nation's history. Moving from Sumter to Shiloh, Antietam to Gettysburg, Storm Over the Land is a classic chronicle of this bloody conflict, richly illustrated with halftones and drawings.Ā
