Description:"Extensive research, fascinating characters . . . The author has done an admirable job of literally placing a face on the ordinary Confederate soldier." -- The Journal of Southern History"The history of the Civil War is the stories of its soldiers," writes Ronald S. Coddington in the preface to Faces of the Confederacy . This book tells the stories of seventy-seven Southern soldiers--young farm boys, wealthy plantation owners, intellectual elites, uneducated poor--who posed for photographic portraits, cartes de visite , to leave with family, friends, and sweethearts before going off to war. Coddington, a passionate collector of Civil War-era photography, conducted a monumental search for these previously unpublished portrait cards, then unearthed the personal stories of their subjects, putting a human face on a war rife with inhuman atrocities.The Civil War took the lives of twenty-two of every hundred men who served. Coddington follows the exhausted survivors as they return home to occupied cities and towns, ravaged farmlands, a destabilized economy, and a social order in the midst of upheaval. This book is a haunting and moving tribute to those brave men.Like its companion volume, Faces of the Civil An Album of Union Soldiers and Their Stories , this book offers readers a unique perspective on the war and contributes to a better understanding of the role of the common soldier."With his meticulous research and a journalist's eye for good stories, Ron Coddington has brought new life to Civil War photographic portraits of obscure and long-forgotten Confederates whose wartime experiences might otherwise have been lost to history." --Bob Zeller, cofounder and president of the nonprofit Center for Civil War PhotographyWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
