When the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery began building its collections of Civil War–era portraiture, it set a challenging goal: to acquire the most authentic and lifelike images possible of the men and women who played leading roles in the struggle to form what Abraham Lincoln called “a more perfect union.”

Since the Civil War, 1861-1865, the Smithsonian Institution has been actively collecting, preserving, and remembering America's most profound national experience. The collection is housed in nearly a dozen Smithsonian museums and archives. Items range from personal effects, such as Abraham Lincoln's hats, to uniforms and weapons.

This calendar examines the Civil War by featuring selections from the Smithsonian's extensive and manifold collections. History buffs will appreciate photographs, documents and artifacts from both the Union and Confederate sides from the most critical era in American history. Information is provided along with each image. The grids are spacious and include international holidays and moon phases. There are sections at the back to record emergency contact information and birthdays/anniversaries and a full-page 3-year at-a-glance. Earth friendly, printed with soya-based inks on FSC certified paper.
