Dead Confederates, A Civil War Era Blog

The Spring 2016 issue of the Civil War Monitor is now available to subscribers online, and should be appearing in mailboxes and newsstands soon. As usual, it’s got a lot of good stuff inside:

• “Damn Yankees: How Confederates Defined and Demonized Their Northern Opponents,” by George C. Rable.
• “The Wilderness Revisited,” by Stephen W. Sears.
• “Medals of Honor: A Portfolio of Heroes,” profiles of seventeen recipients of the Medal of Honor.
• “Travels: A Visit to Spingfield,” by Christian McWhirter and Samuel Wheeler.
• “Faces of War: A Death Far from Home,” by Ronald S. Coddington.
• “A Reconstruction Bookshelf,” by Brooks Simpson.
• “Ulysses S. Grant and the Long, Hard Slog,” by Mark Grimsley.
• “The Unintended Expert: How a Chance Encounter Led Garry Adelman to a Second Career in Civil War History,” by Jenny Johnston.

Now would be a good time to subscribe to the Monitor, y’all.
