Recollections of a rebel surgeon

About the Book

The American Civil War, which broke out in 1861, was fought over the Confederate States' wish to continue the practice of slavery, and the Union's wish to preserve the union. As to population and resources, the Confederate States were out-matched by the Union on a factor of 2 to 3 times on most indicators. By 1865 some 620,000 people had been killed, making this the most costly war in US history.
