When War Passed This Way is the story of the Civil War in the Cumberland Valley of Pennsylvania and Maryland as seen through the eyes of the community of Greencastle, Pa. This small border town was located right in the path of some of the war's major events such as: Union General Robert Patterson's Campaign in 1861; the Confederate invasion of 1862; Robert E. Lee's Gettysburg Campaign of 1863 and the burning of Chambersburg in 1864. Utilizing many previously unpublished sources, the authors have provided an in-depth look at how a civilian population dealt with adversity during this nation's most tragic conflict. Out of print for several years and demanding collectors' prices, White Mane Publishing Company has made this bestselling book available again, complete with errata sheet.

During the American Civil War, Washington, D.C. was the most heavily fortified city in North America. As President Abraham Lincoln's Capital, the city became the symbol of Union determination, as well as a target for Robert E. Lee's Confederates. As a Union army and navy logistical base, it contained a complex of hospitals, storehouses, equipment repair facilities, and animal corrals. These were in addition to other public buildings, small urban areas, and vast open space that constituted the capital on the Potomac. To protect Washington with all it contained and symbolized, the Army constructed a shield of fortifications: 68 enclosed earthen forts, 93 supplemental batteries, miles of military roads, and support structures for commissary, quartermaster, engineer, and civilian labor force, some of which still exist today. Thousands of troops were held back from active operations to garrison this complex. And the Commanders of the Army of the Potomac from Irvin McDowell to George Meade, and informally U.S. Grant himself, always had to keep in mind their responsibility of protecting this city, at the same time that they were moving against the Confederate forces arrayed against them. Revised in style, format, and content, the new edition of Mr. Lincoln's Forts is the premier historical reference and tour guide to the Civil War defenses of Washington, D.C.

Roper, Peter

"This book represents the best current thinking about the American Civil War. Eleven nationally known historians met to consider the War under the combined auspices of the Department of History and Government and the Office of Continuing Education of Southeastern Louisiana University along with the Baton Rouge, Houston, Jackson, and North Lake Civil War Round Tables." "The theme of this symposium "Leadership During the Civil War," gave those experts a wide range of choices and interpretations. But they chose to integrate the War with the youthful, political, and cultural background of such leaders as Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, and Robert E. Lee, along with other major figures of that conflict. Although some authors emphasized different aspects of leadership, from Lincoln's alleged bending of the Constitution to Lee's youthful interests, all are interesting and provocative."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
