Army Life in Brush Stroke: Frederick E. Ransom's Sketchbook

A great look at the Civil War through sketches According to the article:

"Saved for the Future: In October 2016, Ransom’s sketchbook was given to UCLA’s Library Special Collections, which conserved the fragile volume, removing tape and properly mending torn pages. Next to a short autobiography, Ransom’s opening artwork depicts Vandalia, Ill., townsfolk cheering as the new soldiers of the 11th Illinois head off to Springfield on April 26, 1861, to muster into the Union Army.
