Reviews

Grade 6-9?Damon takes a step back from the battlefield and tells the story of the common folk who were uprooted, whose homes were destroyed, and those who were killed each day during the Civil War. Through diary excerpts and letters, he gives a well-rounded picture of life at home in both the North and South. Readers learn of the daily privations faced, the ever-present fear of starvation, and the dread of learning of a loved one's fate. The black-and-white photographs and reproductions add much to the text, and the bibliography is excellent. A well-written, well-researched work that will add a new dimension to students' knowledge of this bloody struggle.?Elizabeth M. Reardon, McCallie School, Chattanooga, TN

Gr. 5^-8. Many books detail the movement of armies during the Civil War, but this volume discusses nonmilitary aspects of the conflict and the times. Laced with quotations from diaries and letters, the text introduces subjects such as hospital conditions, economic hardships, the abolitionist movement, the New York draft riots, and the influence of Uncle Tom's Cabin as well as the photography and music of the era. Illustrations include reproductions of period prints and many haunting photographs of Civil War soldiers, sites, and civilians. Offering a different perspective, the account complements more traditional histories of this pivotal period in American history. Carolyn Phelan
