Dictionary of the Civil War and Reconstruction

Dozens of excerpts from primary-source materials (letters, diaries, polemics, and the like) illustrate key events and biographical entries.Wormser, Richard L. is the author of 'Dictionary of the Civil War and Reconstruction', published 2000 under ISBN 9780531116234 and ISBN 0531116239.
