The Oxford Dictionary of Civil War Quotations

"This Dictionary is the definitive book of quotations about America's bloodiest war, encompassing quotations not only from presidents, generals, and soldiers, but also from freed slaves, wives and daughters of both the Union and the Confederacy, journalists, diarists, and poets. Taken from both Civil War-era and modern sources, these quotations provide a multifaceted picture of the most tumultuous time in our nation's history."--Jacket.
