ReviewsJames I. Robertson, Jr.author ofStonewall Jackson: The Man, the Soldier, the Legend"Spectacular," "gripping," "unprecedented," and "unique in every sense," are overused phrases in describing a new book. Yet each applies here. Robert Sneden's diary-memoir of service in the 40th New York is extraordinary in itself. His scores of watercolors of scenes in the field have no equal in Civil War art., Geoffrey C. Wardcoauthor ofThe Civil War: An Illustrated HistoryThis richly illustrated account of one man's Civil War belongs in the library of anyone interested in knowing what it was really like to fight for the American Union., "A marvelous novel . . . moves with joyous energy . . . amply imagined and crisply, lovingly written. I haven't enjoyed a book more this year . . . a joyous epic."--Newsweek, William Marvelauthor ofAndersonville: The Last DepotRobert Sneden's detailed eyewitness sketches of Confederate prisons -- and Andersonville in particular -- offer unique glimpses of scenes that were, for the most part, never recorded by any camera or any better artist., Jeffrey D. Wertauthor ofA Brotherhood of ValorRobert Knox Sneden saw too much of the Civil War, from the slaughter of battlefields to the horrors of Andersonville. But Sneden was an astute observer, who left behind a wonderful legacy in words, drawings, and maps. Eye of the Storm is a splendid book., John Jakesauthor ofThe North and South TrilogySneden's record in words and pictures is remarkable and unique. You have never read -- or seen -- a Civil War memoir like this one., "The finest novel that McMurtry has yet accomplished . . . Lonesome Dove has all the action anyone could possibly imagine . . . [and] both in general and in details, the authority of exact authenticity . . . superb."--Chicago Tribune, William C. Davisauthor ofLincoln's Men: How President Lincoln Became Father to an Army and a NationA prize find. Unusually full and dramatic, Sneden'sEye of the Stormis one of the most fulsome and significant prison memoirs to come out of the war. The wonderful drawings and maps only further gild an already golden human and historical document., "Everything aboutLonesome Dovefeels true . . . These are real people, and they are still larger than life."—Nicholas Lemann,The New York Times Book Review, Gary W. Gallagherauthor ofLee and His Generals in War and MemoryRobert Knox Sneden bequeathed a rich store in pictorial and narrative material to students of the Civil War. His drawings and paintings depict many places for which we have no other pictorial representations. This highly unusual account, which is enhanced by the editors' excellent work, quickly should take its place among the invaluable published primary sources on the conflict., T. K. WhippleStudy Out the LandAll America lies at the end of the wilderness road, and out past is not a dead past, but still lives in us. Our forefathers had civilization inside themselves, the wild outside. We live in the civilization they created, but within us the wilderness still lingers. What they dreamed, we live, and what they lived, we dream.
