A revealing historical and photographic tour of the homes of influential Civil War figures, including Robert E. Lee, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Clara Barton, Stonewall Jackson, and others.

Timed to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the Civil War and a fitting sequel to Houses of the Presidents, Houses of Civil War America takes readers into the daily lives of the most important historical figures in the nation-defining conflict.
