Full title : Poetry and eloquence from the Blue and the Grey - The Photographic History of the Civil War (book 9)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part Nine: Poetry and Eloquence from the Blue and the Gray is an anthology of works written during and after the War. The pictures, songs, stories, and eloquence will certainly make this part of The Photographic History of the Civil War one of the most moving.

When The Photographic History of the Civil War first appeared in 1911 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of that great conflict, it was hailed as a unique publishing achievement. Collectors of Americana, students of history, Civil War enthusiasts, Americans in every walk of life eagerly sought out these volumes so that, in time, they became extremely scarce, obtainable only from dealers in rare books. Now available in a popular edition, this ten volume series is certain to elicit the same war praise that it enjoyed when it first appeared. The Civil War has the distinction of being not only the first and only totally American war, but the first war in history to be extensively photographed. This last fact alone adds an unparalleled dimension to accounts of this war. Indeed, it was said of Mathew Brady, the leading photographer of the period, "The correspondents of the Rebel newspapers are sheer falsifiers; the correspondents of the English press are altogether worse than either; but Brady never misrepresents." Never before in history did historians and the public generally have the stark reality of the photograph with which to judge the true nature of war. And who in these modern time can conceive of a war without remembering the photographs one has see of it? Wars stir great passions within all men and women; those that are able have expressed in eloquent prose and poetry these passions, as well as exciting descriptions, laudatory praises of men and armies, and eulogies of those who will never return.
