“In all the vast collection of books on the American Civil War there is no book like this one. It has been needed for a long time, both by the student and by the man who simply likes to read about the Civil War, but until now no one had the dedication or the encyclopedic knowledge to produce it. Here it is, at last—an almanac, or day-by-day recital down to the close conflict, written by Professor E. B. Long of the University of Wyoming. If there was a battlefield in the Civil War that this man has not visited personally, I do not know where it is; if there is an important collection of papers shedding light on the war that he has not examined, it would be hard to name it. It is no exaggeration whatsoever to say that this man knows more facts about the Civil War than any other man who ever lived. To know a subject thoroughly, of course, is one thing; to put the results of that knowledge into lucid prose of manageable compass is something else again. One does not need to examine many pages of this almanac to realize that Professor Long has succeeded admirably in the second task. Crammed into the margins of each page with facts, this book is never soporific. It is for the casual reader as well as for the specialist; it can even, as a matter of fact, be read straight through as a narrative, in which the dramatic and heart-stirring events of America's greatest time of trial pass before the eye on a day-to-day basis. A book like this has been needed for a long time, but up to now no one was able to write it. It should have a long life, and no one will ever need to do it again. It belongs on the somewhat restricted shelf of Civil War books that will be of permanent value.”Bruce Catton, from his foreword, Paperback, Label: Da Capo Press, Da Capo Press, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 1985-08-21, Studio: Da Capo Press, Verkaufsrang: 631706.

"In all the vast collection of books on the American Civil War there is no book like this one," says Bruce Catton. Never before has such a stunning body of facts dealing with the war been gathered together in one place and presented in a coherent, useful, day-by-day narrative. And never before have statistics revealed human suffering of such heroic and tragic magnitude. The text begins in November, 1860, and ends with the conclusion of hostilities in May, 1865, and the start of reconstruction. It is designed to furnish the reader not only with information, but to tell a story. Here, in addition to the momentous events that are a familiar part of our history, the daily entries recount innumerable lesser military actions as well as some of the other activities and thoughts of men great and unknown engaged in America's most costly war: - May 5,1864-a private in the Army of Northern Virginia writes at the beginning of the Battle of the Wilderness, "It is a beautiful spring day on which all this bloody work is being done." - May 6,1864 -Gen. Lee rides among his men and is shouted to the rear by his protective troops. - April 30, 1864- Joe Davis, five year-old son of the Confederate President, dies after a fall from the high veranda of the White House in Richmond. "The Civil War Day by Day" is divided into months, each month preceded by a summary which helps to set the military and political facts in context of the time and reveals the attitudes of people, North and South, toward the war at that point. This unique volume's features include special studies, covering the facts and figures of population, casualties, and the economics of the war; an Index by Dates; and the complete bibliography of Bruce Catton's The Centennial History of the Civil War for which project E. B. Long served as director of research. Hardcover, Ausgabe: Presumed First, Label: Doubleday, Doubleday, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 1971-11, Studio: Doubleday, Verkaufsrang: 2308817.
