Recent book of the Civil War

A primary source grants uninterrupted or firsthand testimony about an incident, object, character, or work of literature. Primary sources incorporate traditional and constitutional documents, observer accounts, outcomes of experiments, demographic data, studies of creative literature, audio and video records, communications, and art objects.
