Civil War Personalities


Civil War, War Between the States, The Great Rebellion - whatever name you give it, 618,000 lives were lost, more than in all previous U. S. wars combined.   The events leading up to the war were complex, yet simple to the men involved.  The political maneuvering, the ego that cost men lives, the stupidity of some officers, and the brilliance of others are still subjects of intense discussion.  Click on the pictures below to see an enlarged version of the egg and read a short bio of the subject.  

If you are looking for a "different" housewarming gift, birthday present or other special occasion gift, for a student of the Civil War or a re-enactor, a Carved Egg by Gary Gunn™  will keep them talking about your gift for years to come.
