The Civil War Calendar - 2002 (Calendar)

No other event matches the impact of the Civil War on the history of the United States. Over the course of four bloody years, Americans battled Americans, families were sundered, cities were laid waste, and more than half a million lives were lost. This fascinating calendar draws on the Library of Congress' unparalleled Civil War collections for more than forty images, notations of important daily events, and excerpts from eyewitness accounts -- both Union and Confederate, male and female.
