BRUCE CATTON Bruce Catton (1899-1978) grew up in a small Michigan town, listening to Union veterans tell stories of the Civil War. “These old gentlemen, drowsing out the greater part of their lives in the backwoods, had once been lifted beyond themselves by an experience which perhaps was all the more significant because it was imperfectly understood.” No writer has done more to convey the reality of that experience than Catton. A masterpiece of historical storytelling and a land mark of Civil War scholarship, The Army ofthe Potomac Trilogy offers incisive portraits of the Army’s generals. But its true heroes are the rank and file, the men who triumphed despite years of death, hardship, and incom petent leadership. While painting vivid, still unrivalled depictions of famous battles, the trilogy’s groundbreak ing achievement is in its quieter passages, recreating the lives of common soldiers: the food they ate, the shelters they built, the songs they sang while thinking of home. Library of America restores the entirety of this essential classic to print in a deluxe, single-volume collector’s edi tion, with full-color endpaper maps, a color insert with battle maps, and an introduction, detailed endnotes, and a newly researched chronology ofCatton’s life and career by Civil War scholar Gary W. Gallagher. Mr. Lincoln’s Army tells the story of the Army ofthe Potomac’s formation under the command of the gifted yet deeply insecure George McClellan and how his con- flicts with President Lincoln over military operations and political policy became irreconcilable. The narrative
covers the Peninsula Campaign and Second Bull Run, culminating in a brilliant account of Antietam. Glory Road (1952) follows the Army of the Potomac from the nightmarish slaughter at Fredericksburgthrough the squandered opportunity for victory at Chancellorsville
to the epic struggle at Gettysburg, where three days of deadly battle would give President Lincoln the chance to speak “so that the dry bones of the country’s dreams could take on flesh.” In A Stillness at Appomattox (1953), which won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, the Army of the Potomac, now under the grimly determined direction of Ulysses S. Grant, engages in a relentless campaign against the Army of Northern Virginia that devastates its own ranks but ultimately forces Robert E. Lee to surrender, giving its survivors their long-sought final victory.
