The Civil War Archive

Hundreds of papers, letters, memoirs culled from family records, private correspondences, public archives and a variety of other sources trace the war from the nomination of Abraham Lincoln, through violent battles at Bull Run, to the surrender of Lee at Appomattox, Reconstruction and beyond. Messages from lonely mothers at home, stories from soldiers on the front lines, lyrics to rousing battle hymns, confidential communications among officers these primary documents render history in its rawest form and depict the war`s impact on every spectrum of American society.
