Through stark, unposed photographs of Civil War reenactors, photogapher and reenactor Ray Carson has captured the reality of the common soldier's lifre. Combining the intimacy an dintensity of modern photojournalism with the authenticity and hisotrical feel of 1860s photography, Carson has painted a vivid portrait of both the glory and the tragedy of the Civil War.

Striking photographs of camp life, daily activities, medical car, and battle are supplemented with explanatory essays on each aspect of the Civil War soldier's life. The soldiers themselves speak to us through quoted passages from diaries and letters.

For historians, Civil War history buffs, reenactors, or for those who simply want to get a sense of the grim reality of the Civil War, The Civil War Soldier brings modern readeres as close as they will come to "being there."
