Civil War Memories

A collection of short fiction portraying all phases of the war from Louisa May Alcott, Mark Twain, Ambrose Bierce, Stephen Crane, Henry James, and others.
Civil War Memories is a compilation of nineteen stories of the Civil War written in the late 1800s, giving them a ring of authenticity. The voices are both Northern and Southern, male and female, angry and melancholy, serious and comic; but they all treat the Civil War as a watershed in American history and in the lives of those who lived through it.
