Life Magazine began the centennial, much the same as our present periodicals did for the sesquicentennial, with a series introducing the Civil War. A six-part series started with the January 6, 1961 issue. That's a depiction of the Battle of Brandy Station. The cover actually folded out as the illustration spanned two full pages. Bruce Catton wrote the first installment, titled "Deeds of Glory" and lavishly supported with illustrations, providing vignettes of heroic actions from both sides of the war. Consider the audience, and ages of that target, as you browse that article. Other installments in the series appeared in later issuesSixteen pages of Life Paintings depicting the great battles; "The Soldier's Life" by Bell Irvin Wiley; "The War that Changed War" by General James Gavin; "The Home Front" by Margaret Leech; and "The War Lives On" by Robert Penn Warren. These are certainly worth reading, and some reflection. Indeed the "great battles" illustrations are perhaps fodder for several posts about how we remember the Civil War (particularly the painting of The Crater). But none of these received cover support from the magazine. We describe all items to the best of our ability as we are not experts on everything.
