Civil War 150th Anniversary: Pennsylvania Capitol Exhibition publication Published by the Pennsylvania State Museum
The Pennsylvania Civil War 150 exhibition commemoration was far more than a formal remembrance by the the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. It was a collection of stories brought to life that are as epic as the fields of Gettysburg and as small as the struggles of a soldier's wife working to survive her husband's absence on a Pennsylvania farm. The publication includes personal, political, historic and industrial stories of the war, telling the stories of participants in the war--from soldiers and politicians to children and women on the home front. Stories of immigrants who found their new home ripped asunder are included in this 53 page publication featuring numerous rare photos, maps, and fascinating details of the Civil War.
