From Wikipedia.
These were put out by Topps in the early 1960s to mark the centennial of the Civil War and you could get some great blood and gore, 5 cards for a nickel along with that super hard piece of gum.
These featured the colorful artwork of Norman Saunders and other artists, characterized by vivid color, graphic depictions of violence and death and blood. Card #21 "Painful Death" is a prime example. These scenes were an exaggeration of war.
On the reverse, each card had a brief history of campaigns, battles and persons.
There were a total of 88 cards, including a checklist.
