Courage, perseverance, and dedication were hallmarks of the Civil
War soldier. These qualities, along with their disarming humanness,
have lent an enduring attraction to their story. In The Loyal,
True, and Brave: America's Civil War Soldiers, readers will learn
how the soldier's story has changed over the years, being told in
different ways as passing generations introduced their own
questions and interests. Steven Woodworth weaves together a variety
of writings by historians and by Civil War soldiers themselves so
that readers are presented with a lively, balanced picture of all
the major aspects of the Civil War soldier's life. Woodworth
presents the experiences of both Union and Confederate soldiers so
readers gain equal perspective on the men who enlisted for North
and South. The Loyal, True, and Brave contains detailed
descriptions of every facet of the soldier's life, including
enlistment, combat, hospitals, prison, and camp life. Included are
writings by Civil War soldiers Abner R. Small, an officer in a
Maine regiment; John C. Reed, a lawyer-planter from Georgia and
member of the 8th Georgia; and German immigrant Johann Stuber of
the 58th Ohio. Renowned historians Reid Mitchell, Bell I. Wiley,
James M. McPherson, Earl J. Hess, and Gerald F. Linderman are also
featured. Each chapter begins with an introduction by Woodworth,
discussing the general topic of that chapter and the
historiographical issues involved. These selections offer the best
brief introduction available on Civil War soldiers and the
historians who have written about them. The Loyal, True, and Brave
is ideal for courses on the Civil War and Reconstruction, American
nineteenth-century history, and American social and cultural
history.
