  Faces of the Civil War
A word cloud displaying the full text of Faces of the Civil War: An Album of Union Soldiers and Their Stories. Civil War is perhaps expectedly the dominant term. Other prominent words reinforce a theme of common purpose and solidarity, as reflected in soldiers, stories, many, men, life and images.

  Faces of the Confederacy
A word cloud displaying the full text of Faces of the Confederacy: An Album of Southern Soldiers and Their Stories. Interestingly, the term Confederate is not as prominent as Civil War in the word cloud above. Many of the words displayed here refer to the individuality of the soldiers who wore the gray, including one, family, father and company.

  Both books combined
A word cloud displaying the full text of both volumes. War, regiment and men dominant this cloud, all key words to describe the theme of the books. Union and Confederate are displayed about the same size, suggestive of the terrible split that tore the country asunder from 1861 to 1865.
