About this product

Product Information

Eye of the Stormis one of the most important Civil War documents ever published. Four tattered scrapbooks found in a Connecticut bank vault in 1994 have yielded a treasure trove of more than five hundred watercolors and maps that vividly depict America's great national conflict. These scrapbooks, and the accompanying memoir, are the life's work of a long-forgotten Union private and mapmaker named Robert Knox Sneden, who witnessed some of the war's greatest campaigns and spent more than a year in Southern prison camps, including Andersonville.A must-have for anyone interested in the subject, Robert Knox Sneden'sEye of the Stormis a permanent addition to Civil War literature and art, and a lasting achievement in human expression of the horrors of war.

Reviews
Doreen CarvajalThe New York TimesThrough sheer serendipity and the determined detective work of a Southern historian, the voluminous collection was pieced together, along with the puzzle of Sneden's life and obsessions. Experts say his oeuvre has no equal in Civil War art., Ken RingleThe Washington PostEye of the Stormis the fruit of a scholarly detective hunt almost as intriguing as the narrative it details. What distinguishes Storm the most from the hundreds of other Civil War books are Sneden's uniquely informed foxhole view, his graphic, unsentimental narrative, and the compelling watercolors with which he illustrates his tale., Michael LarkinThe Boston GlobePuts the modern reader in the heart of the war. It is astonishing that such valuable experience could have remained hidden for so long.

Eye of the Storm
A great collection of sketches/painting along with a diary of a Union Solier. I had an earlier copy and lent it to someone and lost it. I bought another because I want to have one.
