What an amazing book! This collection of articles compiled by Century Magazine in the 1880s takes us back to some of the U.S. Civil War's most important moments, all from the eyes and remembrances of generals, soldiers, and statesmen who were there (or in the case of leaders like Albert Sydney Johnston, the writings of their descendants). This first of four volumes provides the views of Grant, Buell, and Beauregard on the battle of Shiloh, Beauregard and Joseph Johnston on the first battle of Bull Run, John Erricson on the creation of the Monitor, Walke and Ellet on the river fleet, and so much more. I so look forward to volume 2!

Excellent concept and execution. I love getting the same story from multiple perspectives.
