　　American history has never seen a more tumultuous or more

significant year than 1863. During this crucial time the tide of

the Civil War turned inexorably from the Confederacy to the Union,

with momentous consequences that are still being felt today. It was

a year of upheaval unparalleled in our national experience: twelve

months of searing brutality and ennobling sacrifice, 365 stirring,

dramatic days that changed our country forever.

Integrating the events of this epochal year into a panoramic

narrative, Joseph E. Stevens presents a grand portrait of the Union

and Confederacy at war. He captures two nations struggling to

define the American experiment and create a new understanding of

freedom on the bloody battlefields of Stones River,

Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Chickamauga, and

Chattanooga. He also traces the astonishing political, economic,

and social transformations that marked 1863 as a watershed.

1863 features a remarkable cast of characters: larger-than-life

leaders like Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis; charismatic and

controversial military commanders like Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S.

Grant, James Longstreet, Joseph Hooker, Stonewall Jackson, George

Armstrong Custer, and Nathan Bedford Forrest; avaricious young

capitalists like Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, and J. P.

Morgan; war-haunted writers like Herman Melville, Louisa May

Alcott, and Walt Whitman; war-inspired painters like Winslow Homer

and Conrad Wise Chapman.

Here, too, is a host of less well known but no less fascinating

personalities: soldiers and civilians, slaves and slave owners,

farmers and city dwellers, politicians and profiteers, artistocrats

and refugees. Their stories--humorous and harrowing, inspiring and

appalling--make 1863 not just a sweeping re-creation of events but

a gripping human tale as well.

1863 is popular history at its best--vivid, vibrant, and

immensely readable. Written with dramatic intensity and impassioned

humanity, it is a thrilling account of the pivotal year of the war

that remains the central historical event in the life of our

nation.
