Not much has been written about the Italian immigrant experience
prior to 1880. This book, through careful analysis of primary and
archival sources, brings to life the Civil War-time trials and
tribulations of several notable Italian Americans--Bancroft
Gherardi, Luigi Palma di Cesnola, Francis B. Spinola, Decimus et
Ultimus Barziza, and Edward Ferrero, among others. Though their
numbers were few, Italian Americans played central roles in the
bloodiest war in our country's history. Included in this book are
samples of John Garibaldi's wartime correspondence to his wife,
lists of Italian Americans who served as officers and
noncommissioned sailors in the Union Navy, and first-hand
correspondence of William Howell Reed (Virginia hospitals overseer
under President Grant) and the brother of a young Italian who died
in the hospital during the war. Sons of Garibaldi in Blue and Gray
fills a critical gap in studies of Italian American life in the
United States in the late 1800s.
