BCR's Shelf2Life American Civil War Collection is a unique and exciting collection of pre-1923 titles focusing on the American Civil War and the people and events surrounding it. From memoirs and biographies of notable military figures to firsthand accounts of famous battles and in-depth discussions of slavery, this collection is a remarkable opportunity for scholars and historians to rediscover the experience and impact of the Civil War. The volumes contained in the collection were all written within 60 years of the end of the war, which means that most authors had living memory of it and were facing the effects of the war while writing. These firsthand accounts allow the modern reader to more fully understand the culture of both the Union and Confederacy, the politics that governed the escalation and end of the war, the personal experience of life during the Civil War, and the most difficult and polarizing question in the history of the United States: slavery. The American Civil War Collection allows new readers access to the contemporary arguments and accounts surrounding the war, and is a vital new tool in understanding this important and pivotal chapter in American history.

This book could benefit from some editorial clarifications. On page 105 the author mentions “a ball game.” What would that mean? Not what it would mean to us today. On page 149 she writes, “All the girls wear newspaper bustles to school now.” What was “a newspaper bustle”? Why are prices sometimes quoted in shillings? But a very readable book.
Worth reading if you want to escape to upper New York in the 1850s. Lots of quaint details about daily life. Fashions, pastimes, what people were thinking. Lots of humor. How I wish my ancestors had kept such a journal! Illustrated with ambrotypes and daguerrotypes. ( )
