Atlantic Magazine's Special Civil War Issue

[Frank W. Baker]

a repost from MiddleWeb:   The Atlantic (first published in 1857) revisits its early years in a special edition commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. The magazine provides first hand reports of the prewar period, the war itself, and the aftermath, and couples them with responses by contemporaries. Among the contributors are celebrated American writers like Mark Twain, Henry James, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Frederick Douglass, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Louisa May Alcott.  President Obama, Gary Wills and others also have their say. Available in print and digital editions. For an overview of The Atlantic’s editorial priorities during the war, visit this NPR report.
