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.
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 effect 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, etc. The
book makes a perfect gift for Civil War
enthusiasts, photography buffs, and
students. |

“I
have to thank you sincerely for sending
me your book .... and congratulate you
heartily on its excellence. ... I found
this book absolutely gripping and
thoroughly enjoyable.
In fact, I think it's had a deep effect
on me. It's great to see a book with not
only great handling of the pictures, but
a totally clear vision of what is being
put across, and great narrative. ...Now I
feel, having read your book from cover to
cover last night .. that I understand a
little of what it really was like to be
there. It is hugely moving ... but also
very inspired for the battles we must
still fight, for the equality of
men...All the very best - I salute you !

“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.”

“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.”
