In A Treasury of Civil War Tales, you'll discover things like: What Union general was showered with 10,000 gift cigars following the unconditional surrender of Fort Donelson, Tennessee, how a Boston banking heiress wrote the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" following a tour of war-torn Washington, and what former Ohio congressman was deported from the United States to the Confederacy for advocating peace and reconciliation with the South. Garrison presents the Civil War with a human face in a collection of stories that capture what the war was like for the people who lived through it. There are fifty-two chronologically arranged stories about Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, Dred Scott's legal battle with slavery, and much more.
