Indexed by chapter 511 0 $a Read by Lorna Raver. 520 $a An illuminating study of the American struggle to comprehend the meaning and practicalities of death in the face of the unprecedented carnage of the Civil War. During the war, approximately 620,000 soldiers lost their lives. An equivalent proportion of today's population would be six million. This book explores the impact of this enormous death toll from every angle: material, political, intellectual, and spiritual. Historian Faust delineates the ways death changed not only individual lives but the life of the nation and its understanding of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. She describes how survivors mourned and how a deeply religious culture struggled to reconcile the slaughter with its belief in a benevolent God, and reconceived its understanding of life after death.--From publisher description. 538 $a System requirements: CD/MP3 player or PC with MP3-capable software 650 0 $a Death $x History $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Death $z United States $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Burial $x History $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Burial $z United States $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Audiobooks. 650 0 $a MP3 (Audio coding standard) 651 0 $a United States $x Social aspects. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Social aspects. 651 0 $a United States $x Psychological aspects. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Psychological aspects. 651 0 $a United States $x Influence. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Influence. 700 1 $a Raver, Lorna. $4 nrt 939 $a 5943987 941 $a 1 945 $a cda 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20150619011252.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D850114A2B1111DE9FAE8B08A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IW3Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
