Note:Includes index.

Note:"The text is wholly drawn from the pages of four leading period dailies -- the Richmond Daily Dispatch, the Charleston Daily Courier, the Boston Evening Transcript, and the New York Tribune. Since the over-abundance of material precludes an exhaustive presentation, items are drawn in each of the newspapers from the third Saturday issue of every month for the duration of the war, a total of some fifty-five dates. Thus, the war unfolds in a series of time-lapse snapshots. While the emphasis falls perforce on the military and political aspects, the narrative is much broader and succeeds in conveying the human dimension of the conflict." -- Brayton Harris, ed., Introduction
