The
New York Times: Complete Civil War,
1861-1865 Harold Holzer, Craig Symonds
Original news articles covering the war. Disappointed that they are not produced as facsimiles, but I understand that that wouldn’t have worked spatially. Also, the included DVD was useless, didn’t work in either of my computers, too bad. That having been said, this is an invaluable historical source, well organized, well presented. Thoughtful and helpful annotations, inclusion of interesting drawings and photographs from the published editions. Also includes dispatches from other papers, even from the south. Many of the histories I’ve read and learned so much from use the same accounts assembled here. Excellent to have these original accounts compiled together.
