DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Blue & Gray in Black & White is account of the techniques, tactics, and personalities of the news-gathering industry during the American Civil War. This cataclysmic event accelerated the transformation of the content of newspapers from pallid literature and opinion to robust, partisan reporting of vital events, real and imagined. The written record, however, is only part of the story. Much of the impact of Civil War journalism derives from its illustrations, and twenty-two examples of these are reproduced here. Harris also follows the war's most famous artists, including Winslow Homer, as they and their reporter brethren braved the dangers of the battlefield to capture some of our most memorable images of war.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Blue-Gray Mist and a Black Dawn is a novel about people caught in a place and a time. Like a huge omnipotent beast, the American Civil War grasped the country by its shoulders and shook it violently, then threw it beaten and bloody into the dust and rocks. In order to understand the people who rose from the cultural debris and physical carnage, then went on to continue the experiment in democracy, it is necessary to understand the time and place. The fictional characters in this book are tightly wound with real characters, the technology, and the social and political culture of 1864 American. Those readers who are familiar with this period will quickly recognize the real characters and events. They are integral and necessary parts of the story whether as participates or persons who directly influence the actions of the characters in the novel. Though there are many accounts of battles and the action of soldiers in battle, this is not a novel about battles. It is a story about time and place and the people who experienced it. It is violent; it is tender; it is everything that human beings are magnified by this period of national insanity.
