Nicely done book of Civil War photos

If you're a Civil War buff, you've seen mostly all of these pictures--U.S. Grant leaning against a tree, a grainy picture of Lee sitting on Traveller, a towering Abe Lincoln standing Shaq-like above McClellen and his staff--yep, same old, same old. Time-Life even recycled the captions from previous publications. That said, this is still a good collection, we all love to look at the same old photos because the Civil War was, and still is, a defining point in America's history.
