Publisher's Synopsis
Journey back to the days when America was torn in half -- the Civil War of the United States. Listen to tales of courage and honour from both sides in the War between the States. Hear of the battles and the generals, the triumphs and the tragedies in those years, 1861 to 1865, when the country fractured into the Union of the Yankee North and the Confederacy of the South. With both fact and fiction, Colonial Radio Theatre's re-enactments of literature and history bring listeners to the front lines, through the world when Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas, Ulysses S Grant and Robert E Lee once struggled -- as presidents or generals. Experience this monumental chapter of history that still shapes society today. Both in national identity and regional differences. Includes 10 audio cassettes. Approximate running time: 620 minutes.
