Civil War Paintings of Mort Kunstler, The - Volume 1

Foreword by William C. Davis
Text based on the writings of Rod Gragg, Mort Kunstler, James M. McPherson, and James I. Robertson, Jr.

The Civil War Paintings of Mort Kunstler presents more than 160 Civil War paintings in four volumes that parallel the history of the war. This first volume covers the period from the firing on Fort Sumter in April 1861 to the battle of Antietam (Sharpsburg) in September 1862.

History comes alive in Kunstler’s paintings. His portrayal of the war through images of people and events brings dimension and character to them. Whether the subjects of these works are field commanders or men in the ranks, his brush conveys their battlefield courage, their stamina in the field, and their devotion to their leaders and their causes.
