A True American Civil War Adventure
Miller. This title tells the story of the largest prison breakout in U.S. history. It took place during the Civil War, when more than 1,200 Yankee officers were jammed into Libby, a special prison considered escape-proof, in the Confederate capitol of Richmond, Virginia. A small group of men, obsessed with escape, mapped out an elaborate plan, and one cold and clear night, 109 men dug their way to freedom. Freezing, starving, clad in rags, they still had to travel 40 miles to Yankee lines and safety. 304 pages, 6½"x 9½", hardcover. #111836 $19.95
The release of the 20 Civil War stamps marked the most extensive effort in the history of the U.S. Postal Service to review and verify the historical accuracy of stamp subjects. The 16 individuals and four battles were chosen from a list of 50 subjects, with the goal of showing the wide variety of people who participated in the Civil War. In addition to a full-color picture on the front, the back of each stamp bears highlights of the person or battle. Sheet – 6"x 6½". #111666 $29.95
