The Civil War: In Their Own Words
“Each narrator delivers unique voices for the characters they portray. Moira Quirk accentuates Harriet Beecher Stowe’s compassionate prose. Matthew Wolf finds the moral certitude in Ralph Waldo Emerson’s essays. Scott Brick delves deeply into the biblical and Shakespearean overtones and rhythms of Abraham Lincoln’s most elegant prose. Lastly, Michael Crouch delivers the winsome letters that a young Union soldier sent back home. Inspiring, heartrending, and prescient—this collection proves that spoken word can be mightier than the sword.”
