Sinopsis
William Forbes arrived in New York in 1861 anxious to begin a career as an artist. Unable to find other work, he signed on with Burton's Illustrated News to sketch the battles of the Civil War. In a time when photographic images could not be reproduced in newspapers, the quickest and most practical means of documenting events was for artists to do sketches in the field. This meant that in times of war, they had to go right onto the battlefields and into the trenches alongside the soldiers. Appealing to young artists and history buffs alike, Taylor Morrison's stunning artwork and detailed text bring this fascinating time to life. This historical account of early news reporting takes readers from the first stages of the artist's battlefield sketches to the final printed newspaper page. This is a realistic portrayal that for many young readers will likely spark an interest in our country's Civil War and in history in general.
