"Discovering the Civil War" by the National Archives Experience Team was a real treat, the book is a treasure trove of unexplored artifacts of our nation's past. It serves as a companion to the two exhibits created and exhibited at the National Archives that helped introduce visitors to the many facets that made-up the Civil War.

Within the covers of this book was evidence of the human component in a war so many generations removed from my own. It is easy to talk in a detached way about the Civil War, after all there are no living human "artifacts". But such diverse articles as letters home and prisoner of war records help put a human face on our past.

"Discovering the Civil War" would make an excellent addition to any historian's library. Yet it is also easily accessible by those people unfamiliar with the intimate details. My only regret is being unable to compare the contents of the book to the actual exhibit. However, if the actual exhibit was even half as good as this book was, then it was well-worth the viewing.
