Civil War Artist, Houghton Mifflin/Walter Lorraine Books, 1999

 

“An excellent example of illustrated history.” 

—School Library Journal

 

“Well-designed and illustrated with attractive paintings, Morrison’s book succeeds in documenting and making accessible a little-known aspect of history.”

—Booklist

 

“Morrison raises intriguing questions about the way news was dispersed in earlier times. . . . His own painterly—and obviously well-researched—artwork creates a strong sense of what a Civil War-era newspaper office was like. . . . An illuminating look at a little known process.”

—Publishers Weekly

 

“Your illustrations are so good that I find them useful for handing around in the course on book illustration processes I teach.”

—Terry Belanger, Founding Director, Rare Book School, University of Virginia
