It lasted four years, cost 600,000 lives, and happened under our very feet. Today, 150 years after the Civil War began, few things from our history so move us still as the war of neighbor against neighbor. 

Inside this book, pictures, places, objects, and stories of the Civil War weave a hard-won lesson of loss and triumph on a continental scale. Ranging across nearly two dozen states, former territories, and the District of Columbia, this simple-to-use guidebook gives concise descriptions and key images for each entry plus clear directions on where to look or how to get there. 

The Civil War 150 invites you to:

- Help save a battlefield
- Find a Civil War ancestor
- Watch The Civil War series by Ken Burns
- Learn to handle a Civil War musket
- See a reenactment
- Visit the African American Civil War Museum
- Follow John Wilkes Booth’s Escape Route 

And 143 more memorable things to do and see…
