"This excellent collection offers a host of new insights into the
impact of the Civil War on civilian life. The essays on subjects
ranging from race relations to family life, changes in the role of
women, and the war in popular memory, make clear that some of the
war's most profound consequences for American history took place
away from the battlefield."--Eric Foner, DeWitt Clinton Professor
of History, Columbia University
"[This is] an outstanding and very original collection of
fifteen essays about the Civil War, including the latest and best
scholarship on the North, South, and border states, soldiers and
civilians, men and women. Readable and thought provoking, this is a
book all students of the Civil War should have in their
libraries."--Jean H. Baker, author of "The Stevensons of
Illinois"
"Joan Cashin has assembled a stellar cast of historians to probe
different aspects of civilian life during and after the Civil War.
The happy result is a collection of essays that brims with
innovative questions, new information, and fresh
insights."--Michael F. Holt, Corcoran Department of History,
Langbourne M. Williams Professor of American History, University of
Virginia
"This collection's great strength is that it addresses a subject
that has been inexplicably understudied: the impact of war on
civilians. The contributors are among the leading younger figures
in the field, and the essays are grounded in extensive archival
research. They show that the Civil War was just as disruptive on
the homefront as it was on the battlefield. "--Steven Mintz,
University of Houston
"The collection offers an excellent introduction to an
enormously complex story, shedding light on how women andmen, black
and white, North and South were shaped by--and helped shape--the
great sectional bloodletting."--Gary W. Gallagher, John L. Nau III
Professor of History, University of Virginia, author of "The
Confederate War and Lee and His Army in Confederate History"
