Picture the Past: the Civil War: Historical Coloring Book by Peter F Copeland
All the drama of the American Civil War comes vividly to life in these ready-to-color scenes of key moments in that epic conflict. Scenes include panoramic views of land and sea battles, revealing vignettes that dramatize social and political issues of the period, and detailed close-ups of uniforms, equipment, and locale. The 40 realistically rendered illustrations depict the battle for the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, the bombardment of Fort Sumter, a naval battle between the first American iron-clad ships — the Monitor and the Merrimac — the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, the Battle of Gettysburg, Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox, the assassination of Lincoln at Ford's Theater, and much more.
