Gallagher and Stephen Cushman collect new scholarly essays which explore the significant texts about the American Civil War written by the people who lived through it, whether as civilians or combatants, southerners or northerners, women or men, blacks or whites. Several of the works discussed in the book, such as William Tecumseh Sherman's and Edward Porter Alexander's memoirs and Mary Chesnut's diary, will be familiar to many readers, but other works, including Charlotte Forten's diary and Loreta Velasquez's memoir, may not. In all cases, the contributors explore why these works resonate with audiences across different eras"-- $c Provided by publisher. 611 27 $a American Civil War (1861-1865) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01351658 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $v Sources. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $v Personal narratives. 651 0 $a United States $x Literature and the war. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Literature and the war. 650 0 $a American literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a War in literature. 700 1 $a Gallagher, Gary W., $e editor. 700 1 $a Cushman, Stephen, $d 1956- $e editor. 830 0 $a Conflicting worlds. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717031442.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213022829.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8343E8766CA011E9A39CB90697128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
