"This award-winning series is a major contribution and welcome addition to Civil War history." - The Journal of Southern History "[Piston and Sweeney] bring to this work the eyes of a preeminent historian of the Trans-Mississippi and an expert in the photographic legacy of the war years.... [They] have tied photographs and stories to an overall narrative of the Civil War in Missouri. The goal [of the series] always has been to let readers grasp more fully the basic humanity of the Civil War experience. Hopefully the reader will emerge from this work with an understanding that war involves more than grand strategy and tactics, that real men and women ultimately fought, sacrificed, and often gave their lives in this great national struggle." - From the foreword by Carl Moneyhon and Bobby Roberts, general editors of the Portraits of Conflict Series"
