About the Author
Catherine Clinton is the Douglas Southall Freeman Visiting Professor of History at the University of Richmond. She is the author of several books, including Tara Revisited.
From Library Journal
In her effort to illustrate the human dimensions of the Civil War, Clinton, an authority on Southern history and American women's history, presents startling narrative essays on the everyday and extraordinary women, men, and children caught up in the turmoil. Throughout, she skillfully contrasts the perceptions of whites and blacks and offers insights into the social, cultural, political, and ideological aspects of the sectional conflict and its often divisive impact on families. These essays provide both a base and new directions for Civil War and Reconstruction historiographies and also raise new questions about tragic conflicts, real sufferings, human adjustments, and personal passions during the war. Helpful explanatory notes are included. This is an enlightening addition to works such as Gerda Lerner's The Grimke Sisters of South Carolina (Oxford Univ., 1998) and Divided Houses: Gender and the Civil War (Oxford Univ., 1992), edited by Clinton. Both scholars and informed lay readers will find it enjoyable, useful, and informative.?Edward G. McCormack, Univ. of Southern Mississippi Gulf Coast Lib., Long Beach
