Sold by Crappy Old Books

Step into the fractured heart of 19th-century America with Civil War – Short Stories and Poems, a stirring collection edited by Bob Blaisdell. This Dover Thrift edition gathers the voices of soldiers, civilians, poets, and storytellers—both famous and forgotten—who captured the raw emotion and brutal reality of the U.S. Civil War.

From battlefield reflections to home-front laments, this slim but powerful volume features works by Walt Whitman, Ambrose Bierce, Louisa May Alcott, and others who witnessed or imagined the war’s chaos and cost. Whether it’s a poem scrawled beside a dying comrade or a story etched with irony and sorrow, each piece offers a window into the soul of a nation divided.

Light enough to fit in your coat pocket but heavy with meaning, this collection is perfect for history buffs, literature lovers, and anyone seeking to understand the personal toll behind the headlines of war.

Crappy Old Books—bringing you well-worn wisdom, dog-eared drama, and the occasional whiff of attic dust since... well, it’s been a while.
