Exploring the aftermath of the Civil War, this book delves into Clara Barton's poignant mission to honor the missing and deceased soldiers at the notorious Andersonville prison camp. Through the collection of personal relics and a powerful photograph by Mathew Brady, it reveals the complex interplay of violence, mourning, and memory. The narrative highlights how these artifacts served as symbols of grief and justice, shedding light on the racial dynamics of military sacrifice and the silencing of Black soldiers' stories. Richly illustrated, it captures a crucial moment in history.
