Summary
"This exhibition ... is devoted to but one small segment of the conflict, the study of man embroiled in the horrors of a civil war. Specifically, it is the age-old story of the nonprofessional combat soldier, who wore the gray or the blue in the War, which is the focus of this exhibition ... The exhibition is comprised of 236 paintings, watercolors, drawings, prints, and a few examples of sculpture"--Preface.
