A major new collection of modern commentary from scholars,
historians, and Civil War buffs on the significant events of the
Civil War, culled from The New York Times' popular Disunion on-line
journal Since its debut on November 6, 2010, Disunion, The New York
Times' acclaimed journal about the Civil War, has published
hundreds of original articles and won multiple awards, including
"Best History Website" from the New Media Institute and the History
News Network. Following the chronology of the secession crisis and
the Civil War, the contributors to Disunion, who include modern
scholars, journalists, historians, and Civil War buffs, offer
ongoing daily commentary and assessment of the Civil War as it
unfolded.Now, for the first time, this fascinating and historically
significant commentary has been gathered together and organized in
one volume. In The New York Times: Disunion, historian Ted Widmer,
has selected more than 100 articles that cover events beginning
with Lincoln's presidential victory through the Emancipation
Proclamation. Topics include everything from Walt Whitman's wartime
diary to the bloody guerrilla campaigns in Missouri and Kansas.
Esteemed contributors include William Freehling, Adam Goodheart,
and Edward Ayers, among others.The book also compiles new essays
that have not been published on the Disunion site by contributors
and well-known historians such as David Blight, Gary Gallagher, and
Drew Gilpin Faust. Topics include the perspective of
African-American slaves and freed men on the war, the secession
crisis in the Upper South, the war in the West (that is, past the
Appalachians), the war in Texas, the international context, and
Civil War era cartography. Portraits, contemporary etchings, and
detailed maps round out the book."
