Rubenstein, curators at the Museum of American History, and James Barber, historian at the Portrait Gallery, discuss the making of Smithsonian Civil War: Inside the National Collection (Smithsonian Press).

Learn about the 550 images from the Institution’s holdings that create a panorama of this historic conflict.

    chosen items
    .

    Civil War
