Confederate Image: Prints Of The Lost Cause
by Mark E. Neely, Harold Holzer, Gabor S. Boritt
The Confederate Image examines for the first time the popular lithographs and engravings cherished by Southerners after the Civil War. Until now, few of the pictures have been reproduced in books, and many have been relegated to dusty corners of museums, unframed and uncataloged. This book establishes the importance of such prints, for they helped revive and sustain Southern identity after the collapse of the Confederacy. If the myth of the Lost Cause was a Southern civil religion, then this book is a study of its icons.
