Requests:  0 Summary:  For well over a century, traditional Civil War histories have concluded in 1865, with a bitterly won peace and Union soldiers returning triumphantly home. In a landmark work that challenges sterilized portraits accepted for generations, Civil War historian Brian Matthew Jordan creates an entirely new narrative. These veterans--tending rotting wounds, battling alcoholism, campaigning for paltry pensions--tragically realized that they stood as unwelcome reminders to a new America eager to heal, forget, and embrace the freewheeling bounty of the Gilded Age. Mining previously untapped archives, Jordan uncovers anguished letters and diaries, essays by amputees, and gruesome medical reports, all deeply revealing of the American psyche.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.70869 Jo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 973.70869 Jo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.70869 Jo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
