Description

Based largely on Civil War veterans' own words, this book documents how many of these men survived the extraordinary horrors and hardships of war with surprising resilience and went on to become productive members of their communities in their post-war lives. Nothing transforms "dry, boring history" into fascinating and engaging stories like learning about long-ago events through the words of those who lived them. What was it like to witness―and participate in―the horrors of a war that lasted four years and claimed over half a million lives, and then emerge as a survivor into a drastically changed world? Veterans North and South: The Transition from Soldier to Civilian after the American Civil War takes readers back to this unimaginable time through the words of Civil War soldiers who fought on both sides, illuminating their profound, life-changing experiences during the war and in the postbellum period. The book covers the period from the surrender of the armies of the Confederacy to the return of the veterans to their homes. It follows them through their readjustment to civilian life and to family life while addressing their ability―and in some cases, inability―to become productive members of society. By surveying Civil War veterans' individual stories, readers will gain an in-depth understanding of these soldiers' sacrifices and comprehend how these discrete experiences coalesced to form America's memory of this war as a nation. Documents how Civil War veterans' combat experience changed them in ways that allowed them to become productive members of their communities and leaders in their sections―a largely overlooked "benefit" to the war Identifies overarching trends among veterans' experiences while also underscoring how varied Civil War soldiers' experiences were, depending on which side they fought for, where they fought, and their socioeconomic status Review A useful introduction to the study of Civil War army veterans. . . . Scholars interested in family history, post-Civil War political history, and the construction of memory by veterans' organizations will also be interested in this volume.-- " Journal of the Civil War Era" Highly recommended . . . Cimbala has produced an excellent boook . . . . Students of the New South will find this study an important foundation for their understanding of the subject. Libraries with Southern history collections will find it a must-have addition.-- " Choice" This book is a significant addition to the literature that will prompt much worthwhile debate. . . .[A]n important call for future scholars.-- " Journal of Southern History" About the Author Paul A. Cimbala, PhD, is professor of history at Fordham University, Bronx, NY.
