From dust jacket: This Hallowed Ground is the story of the Civil War as seen from the Union side. Only Bruce Catton, with his magnificent feeling for the human aspects of history and his ability to translate historical fact into an absorbing narrative, could have written this brilliant and stirring book. And for the first time Mr. Catton has written a book that deals with the entire scope of the war -- from the months of unrest and hysteria that led to Fort Sumter to the days of tragedy and hope that followed Appomattox.
