In a creative, place-based approach to telling the story of the Civil War, architectural historian Michael Southern surveys the historic fabric of North Carolina and identifies those extant structures that were in place during the period 1861-1865 and whose stories contribute to our understanding of the war. Lavishly illustrated with newly-commissioned photographs and historic images, the book is a must-have for students of the war as well as readers with an interest in architectural history.
