The Civil War: 1861-1865: An Interactive Package of Image and Text, by David E. Roth, Smithmark, New York, 1992.
This is a coffee table book with the first third of the book dedicated to text, and then the rest of the book an illustrated history of the Civil War. The illustrations include actual photographs, sketches, newspaper advertisements and headlines. It offers a very extensive collection and covers the period of the war, with even some of the period of reconstruction included. This has been a good read as the descriptions of the pictures provide a great deal of information. CD rom was included which offers uncopyrighted versions of the pictures for person use. This include pictures of President Lincoln and Davis, General Lee and Grant (and all the other Union commanders.) It also has a very nice section of Navy pictures. This collection is very complete.
