{"product_id":"civil-war-in-50-objects","title":"Civil War In 50 Objects","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe American companion to A History of the World in 100 Objects, a fresh, visual perspective on the Civil War From a soldier's diary with the pencil still attached to John Brown's pike, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the leaves from Abraham Lincoln's bier, here is a unique and surprisingly intimate look at the Civil War.\n\nLincoln scholar Harold Holzer sheds new light on the war by examining fifty objects from the New-York Historical Society's acclaimed collection. A daguerreotype of an elderly, dignified ex-slave; a soldier's footlocker still packed with its contents; Grant's handwritten terms of surrender at Appomattox--the stories these objects tell are rich, poignant, sometimes painful, and always fascinating. They illuminate the conflict from all perspectives--Union and Confederate, military and civilian, black and white, male and female--and give readers a deeply human sense of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Putnam Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42973606936742,"sku":"9780143128144","price":19.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0443\/8471\/4918\/products\/9780143128144_1.jpg?v=1656048340","url":"https:\/\/bookxcess.myshopify.com\/products\/civil-war-in-50-objects","provider":"Staging Site ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
