Civil War Times Illustrated
June 1996
Features:
Custer On The Rise - Last in his class at West Point, first in demerits, George Armstrong Custer seemed destined for mediocrity. The Civil War changed that, offering the ambitious Custer a chance to prove through action what he could not prove at the academy: that he was an extraordinary leader of men in combat.
America Under Two Flags - The yacht America lent her name to America's Cup by winning an 1851 race. Later, she lent her speed to both sides in the Civil War, first as a blockade runner, then as a blockader.
All Thumbs - How clumsy would a soldier have to be to shoot off his own thumb?
Rush To Glory - If one glorious battle was going to end the "Rebellion," Union Brigadier General Daniel Tyler wanted to get on with it. His lust fo action caused a near-fiasco at Blackburn's Ford on Bull Run in July 1861
Muzzle To Muzzle With The Merrimack - A Union Marine gets a very good look at a dreaded and powerful Confederate ironclad as it sets to work at sinking his ship.
The City That Survived Sherman - Atlanta
