"Eye of the Storm" is one of the most important Civil War documents ever published. Four tattered scrapbooks found in a Connecticut bank vault in 1994 have yielded a treasure trove of more than five hundred watercolors and maps that vividly depict America's great national conflict. These scrapbooks, and the accompanying memoir, are the life's work of a long-forgotten Union private and mapmaker named Robert Knox Sneden, who witnessed some of the war's greatest campaigns and spent more than a year in Southern prison camps, including Andersonville.A must-have for anyone interested in the subject, Robert Knox Sneden's "Eye of the Storm" is a permanent addition to Civil War literature and art, and a lasting achievement in human expression of the horrors of war.
