An immense literature about the Civil War has nonetheless paid
surprisingly little attention to the common soldier, North and
South. Historians have shown even less concern for the long-term
impact of this military service on American society. Larry M.
Logue's To Appomattox and Beyond makes a major contribution in
addressing this need. In a compact synthesis that draws upon
important new materials from his own research, Logue provides the
fullest account available of the Civil War soldier in war and peace
who fought, what happened to them in battle, how the public
regarded them, how the war changed the rest of their lives, in what
ways they were like and different from their counterparts across
the Mason-Dixon line. To Appomattox and Beyond offers surprising
conclusions about the psychological impact of warfare on its
participants; about the North's generous pension system for
veterans; and about the role that veterans played in politics and
social issues, notably the Confederate racist reaction of the late
nineteenth century. In a final irony, Logue points out, by the
twentieth century men who had once been enemies now had more in
common with each other than with the new world around them."
