Overview
In this authoritative and compelling volume, filled with primary-source material, David Madden, founding director of the United States Civil War Center, takes us directly inside the world of the Civil War soldier to give us an unprecedented view of the passionate men who actually did the fighting, not merely against each other, but against disease, starvation, foul weather, depression, and fear -- the battles that consumed most of their lives. In personal stories, letters, songs, prayers, diary entries, and more than fifty vintage photographs, Beyond the Battlefield looks at camp conditions and military protocol, games and sports, food and cooking, prison camps, letters home, the prevalence of disease, medical advances, typical clothing, popular vices, and much, much more.Book Details
