Mahoney examines how members of the middle class from small cities
across the great West were transformed by boom and bust, years of
recession, and civil war. He argues that in their encounters with
national economic forces, the national crisis in politics, and the
Civil War, middle class people were cut adrift from the social
identity that they had established in the 'face to face'
communities of the 'hometowns' of the urban West. By grounding them
in their hometown ethos, and understanding how the Panic of 1857
and the subsequent recession undermined their lives, the author
provides important insights into how they encountered, responded
to, and were changed by their experiences in the Civil War.
Providing a rare view of social history through the framework of
the Civil War, the author documents, in both breadth and depth, the
dramatic change and development of modern life in
nineteenth-century America.
