The bloody conflict that sundered the United States from 1861 to 1865 took more than 620,000 lives, laid waste to large sections of the American South, and decided the country's future course. Its reverberations are still felt in the life of the nation.

Drawn from the unparalleled Civil War collections of the Library of Congress - "The Nation's Memory" - the battle scenes reproduced here in full color from chromolithographs, hand-tinted prints, and paintings portray a cross section of the war's great combat encounters. They are vivid reminders of the savagery and suffering, the strategy and chaos that characterized this rending episode in our history - and the stubborn bravery of the fighters of both sides.
