On this semi-centennial of the American Civil War — the war of the modern Roses
in the Western World — these volumes are dedicated to the American people in
tribute to the courage and the valor with which they met one of the greatest crises that a
nation has ever known — a crisis that changed the course of civilization. We look back
at Napoleon through the glamor of time, without fully realizing that here on our own
continent are battle-grounds more noble in their purport than all the wars of the ancient
regimes. The decades have shrouded the first American Revolution in romance, but the
time has now come when this second American revolution, at the turning point of its
first half century, is to become an American epic in which nearly three and a half million
men gathered on the battle-line to offer their lives for principles that were dear to them.
“It is as an American "Battle Abbey" that these images are opened on this anniversary,
so that the eyes of the generations may look on the actual scenes — not upon the tar-
nished muskets, the silenced cannon, nor the battle-stained flag, but upon the warriors
themselves standing on the firing-line in the heroic struggle when the hosts of the North
and the legions of the South met on the battle-grounds of a nation's ideals, with the destiny
of a continent hanging in the balance. And what a tribute it is to American character to
be able to gather about these images in peace and brotherhood, without malice and without
dissension, within a generation from the greatest fratricidal tragedy in the annals of man-
kind. The vision is no longer blinded by heart wounds, but as Americans we can see
only the heroic self-sacrifice of these men who battled for the decision of one of the world's
greatest problems.”
