Harper's Weekly from the Civil War

This set of reprinted issues of Harper's Weekly is perfect for anyone with an appreciation of American history.When these newspapers were originally printed from 1860-65, they brought the Civil War to the public like never before! Not only reporters, but also artists were sent to the battlefield – who would draw detailed illustrations of events they saw, then dispatch them back to Harper's to be published using woodblock printing techniques that were state-of-the-art at that time. With news & battle scenes, political cartoons, advertisements, and more, these handsome reprints make a great gift, and a wonderful way to honor the 150th anniversary of the Civil War.
