The Civil War in 50 Objects by New-York Historical Society, Harold Holzer

3.0

From the collections of the New York Historical Society, this is an annotated collection of their best, most evocative objects, meant to offer a material culture insight into the Civil War: letters, paintings, a pike from the Brown raid, a bronze cast of Lincoln's hand swollen from shaking with visitors, slave shackles, uniform buttons, a draft wheel, commemorative nick-knacks, telegraphs, military code books and recruiting posters.
