Miller Union Soldiers and the Northern Home Front: Wartime Experiences, Postwar Adjustments explores the North's Civil War in ways that brings fresh perspectives to our knowledge of the way soldiers and civilians interacted in the Civil War North. FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description Union Soldiers and the Northern Home Front: Wartime Experiences, Postwar Adjustments explores the North's Civil War in ways that brings fresh perspectives to our knowledge of the way soldiers and civilians interacted in the Civil War North. Northerners rarely confronted the hardships their southern counterparts faced, but they still found the war a challenging event that to varying degrees would re-shape and transform their old comfortable assumptions about their lives. Having given up their sons to save the Union, they craved information and followed the progress of the companies and regiments that they had sent off to fight. At the same time, their soldier boys never fully severed their ties with home, even as the rigors of war made them rougher versions of their old selves. The home front and the front lines remained intimately connected. This book expands our understanding of those connections.The authors of the essays in this volume bring new and different approaches to some familiar topics while offering answers to some questions that other scholars have ignored for too long. They explore such varied experiences as recruitment, soldiers' motivation, civilian access to the combat experience, wartime correspondence, benevolence and organized relief, race relations, definitions of freedom and citizenship, and ways civilians interacted with soldiers who sojourned in their communities. It is important that they do not stop with the end of the fighting, but also explore such postwar problems as the reintegration of soldiers into northern life and the claims to public memory, including those made by African Americans. Taken as a whole, the essays in Union Soldiers and the Northern Home Front provide a better understanding of the larger scope and depth of wartime events experienced by both civilians and soldiers and of the ways those events nurtured the enduring connections between those who fought and those who remained at home. In that regard, the essays go to the very heart of the Civil War experience. Author Biography Paul A. Cimbala is Professor Emeritus of History at Fordham University, The Bronx, New York.

Review "This provocative and stimulating collection is a rich and varied sample of the range of current research in the field. It should be savored by academic specialists and advanced graduate students." -The Historian "Cimbala and Miller have assembled a collection focusing on the "new identities" imposed upon veterans and non-combatants alike, during and after the war." -Journal of American Studies "This is as rich and rewarding a collection of essays on the Civil War home front as has ever been assembled. Respected experts offer thoughtful new looks at such provocative issues as wartime mobilization, religious revivalism, race relations, news reporting, and charity work. In the words to the title of one chapter, this is 'a different Civil War'-but one that has long deserved this level of insight and attention. This volume is essential for anyone who seeks to understand the home front North-mostly free of combat, but hardly immune from the society-altering impact of war." -- -Harold Holzer Vice-President for Communications of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, author and editor of numerous books on the Civil War and on Lincoln.
