The entire Sneden collection, a 5,000-page memoir and 1,000 watercolors, represents perhaps one of the largest collections of Civil War soldier art ever produced, and many of the images are the only known depictions of lesser-known locations and events.  Eye of the Storm: Civil War Drawings of Robert Knox Sneden would be available in four month rental periods from May 2014 through April 2016.
