<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A unique visual guide to America's war between the states, told through those sites swept aside by development or decay</b> <p/>Take a journey through lost civil war battlefields in this photographic guide to the many historic sites that have been destroyed or become overgrown over the centuries. A companion title to the 150,000-copy-selling <i>Civil War Battlefields Then and Now</i>, this is a unique collection of lost Civil War heritage that features a wide range of sites, arranged thematically and illustrated with original photographs throughout. <p/>Featured locations include: <br><b>Encampments: </b> Over-wintering camps and winter quarters were widely photographed.<br><b>Historic buildings: </b> Many of the original buildings were destroyed and have been rebuilt. These include the McLean House in Appomattox and the Ford Theatre in Washington DC, with many others completely destroyed.<br><b>Prisons: </b> Those featured included Libby Prison, which was dismantled and the bricks shipped to Chicago<br>for the Exhibition; Andersonville Prison and Capitol Prison in Washington DC, and Castle Pinckney in Charleston Harbor.<br><b>Cycloramas: </b>There was such an interest in seeing re-enactments of the Civil War that many cycloramas were built especially to show re-runs of Gettysburg. <p/>Including such curiosities as a list of the longest-living Civil War veterans, the guide also features an up-to-date survey of Confederate statues and memorials and their complicated and often controversial legacy in the 21st century.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Laura de Marco </b>spent her childhood visiting Civil War battlefields, memorials, museums and monuments with her family. Now, with three successful books behind her - <i>Lost Cleveland</i>, <i>Cleveland Then and Now</i>, <i>Mark Twain's America Then and Now</i> - the former Cleveland Plain Dealer journalist gets the chance to write about a subject she's been absorbing since all those journeys.
