“Anger is temporary insanity.”

--John S.C. Abbott

John S. C. Abbott, a clergyman and historian was well respected for his historical writings even prior to the publication of this work. His previous works on the French Revolution and Napoleon Bonaparte were widely popular and very well received. His writing style "did much to popularize the reading of history." - Dictionary of American Biography.

“History of the Civil War in America” is an extremely useful account of the Civil War and was published in a time wherein it would have been read as news rather than history. Though well researched, the author makes use of colorful narrative style giving these more the feel of a popular account than a sober and authoritative text. Features events leading to the cause of the conflict through Lincoln's assassination in April of 1865 and with a final chapter on the results of the conflict as of the date of publication.

Filled with incredible illustrations of maps, portraits, and scenes.
