In the Civil War, as in any war, soldiers spent very little time actually fighting.  Mostly, they drilled, marched, built fortifications, stood watch and performed the many other details of military life.  The total experience, not just the battles, is what made the Civil War such a profound event for those who fought in it.

The war affected and transformed citizens as well as soldiers.  In both the North and the South anxious families worried about their men and treasured their letters and photographs.  In the North, there were patriotic parades in support of the war -- and riots and opposition to the draft.  In the South, the policy of total war brought widespread suffering and deprivation.  For some, the war brought sudden and drastic change; for others, little seemed different, yet ultimately the entire nation was in many ways profoundly changed.

Civil War Days is a fascinating look at everyday life during the War Between the States.  Through hundreds of photographs and drawings -- many in color and many never published before -- and through a lively, informative text, this handsome volume presents a vivid glimpse of what life was really like for ordinary soldiers and civilizations.
