At the Washington Post, the Civil War has held an enduring fascination for both readers and writers.

Civil War Stories: A 150th Anniversary Collection aggregates historical data with contemporary reflections, as journalists and historians put the bloody war into context:
  A timeline of Lincoln's candidacy—and what may have happened if he had lost the electionAn ode to West Virginia, which abandoned Virginia rather than secede from the UnionThe obstacles faced by emancipated slavesWomen in the federal workforce—and disguised as men on the battlefieldsThe modern anti-slavery crusade of Frederick Douglass's great-great-great-grandson  
Personal stories of tragedy and triumph still resonate today. From biographical histories to examinations of the war's legacies, Civil War Stories: A 150th Anniversary Collection is a unique compilation of stories of when our nation was divided.
