Final Resting Places brings together some of the most important and
innovative scholars of the Civil War era to reflect on what death
and memorialization meant to the Civil War generation—and how
those meanings still influence Americans today. In each essay, a
noted historian explores a different type of gravesite—including
large marble temples, unmarked graves beneath the waves, makeshift
markers on battlefields, mass graves on hillsides, neat rows of
military headstones, university graveyards, tombs without bodies,
and small family plots. Each burial place tells a unique story of
how someone lived and died; how they were mourned and remembered.
Together, they help us reckon with the most tragic period of
American history. CONTRUBUTORS: Terry Alford, Melodie Andrews,
Edward L. Ayers, DeAnne Blanton, Michael Burlingame, Katherine
Reynolds Chaddock, John M. Coski, William C. Davis, Douglas R.
