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
