When This Cruel War Is Over: The Civil War Home Front


When This Cruel War Is Over: The Civil War Home Front

Written by: Duane Damon

"The civilians in the North and South were sorely tested during the Civil War. This book tells how they endured and how they assisted during four years of war. There were women who tended the wounded, artists who captured events with their pencils and sketchbooks, and slaves who fought in the Union army. The horrors of this war-the ravage of cities and waste of human lives is soulfully captured. A Notable Children's Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies and part of the "People's History" series."
