| Between 1860
and 1910, stereoscopes were very popular - almost every
parlor contained one. Many of the photographers who
chronicled the American Civil War employed stereographic
cameras to record images of that momentous struggle. The
stereo cards that they produced contain two images - one
for each eye. When viewed with the stereoscope, each eye
sees only the appropriate image, producing the illusion
of three dimensions. The photographs in this book were
taken during the Civil War between 1861 and 1865. They
have been digitally restored and converted to red/cyan
anaglyphs so that each eye sees only one of the
superimposed images, and the 3-D illusion is produced,
just the way the photographers intended. Narrative captions for each picture provide an in-depth perspective on the background and progress of the war, with photographs arranged both chronologically and by subject matter: locations, portraits, African Americans, prisoners of war, ships, ruins, war's end activities, etc. The book makes a perfect gift for Civil War enthusiasts, photography buffs, and students. |

| Richard
Loren Copley has added an exciting new dimension to the
study of the Civil War by bringing images almost to life
in his book, The Civil War A History in 3-D. It
is a wonderful addition for the libraries of private
collections, school collections, and those of various
preservation groups. Copley provides an intriguing and
interacting photographic technique that certainly will
engage the imagination of young people as they study the
Civil War. Harry Bradshaw Matthews President, United States Colored Troops Institute for Local History and Family Research and Associate Dean, Hartwick College |
| An
ideal vehicle by which to gain an
up-close-and-personal understanding of the
Civil War from the perspectives of the participants. The
pictures are wonderful, and go very well with the written
material . . . the 3-D is a very unique
aspect of the book. You get the feeling that you are
right there beside the people in the photographs. It
should be required reading for every student studying the
Civil War. Sue Clark Eighth Grade Social Studies Educator Marion Central School Marion, New York |
