For nearly thirty years, Mort Kunstler has focused his considerable
artistic talent on interpreting the Civil War through his paintings. In
doing so, he has turned to leading historians and scholars for
information that he has then translated on canvas to create an indelible
image of this defining ordeal in America's history. More than 160 of
those images--supplemented by preliminary sketches, early studies, and
photographs of works in progress--are the basis for the four volumes in
this series. Volume 4 follows the course of the war from the battle of
Gettysburg (July 1-3, 1863) through the end of the war at Appomattox
(April 9, 1865). The march through Virginia and Tennessee and Georgia,
culminating at the battle of Chickamauga, the Atlanta campaign, the
battles of Franklin and Nashville, Sherman's March to the Sea, the
North's rampage through South Carolina, and battles through North
Carolina all ended in a parlor in a house at an obscure railroad
crossroads.
