Beschreibung
The fourth collection of essays in this Civil War series "e;serves to remind us that there is much for us to discover beyond Virginia's battlefields"e; (H-Net Reviews).The fourth book in the Virginia at War series casts a special light on vital home front matters in Virginia during 1864. Following a year in which only one major battle was fought on Virginia soil, 1864 brought military campaigning to the Old Dominion. For the first time during the Civil War, the majority of Virginia's forces fought inside the state's borders. Yet soldiers were a distinct minority among the Virginians affected by the war. In Virginia at War, 1864, scholars explore various aspects of the civilian experience in Virginia including transportation and communication, wartime literature, politics and the press, higher education, patriotic celebrations, and early efforts at reconstruction in Union-occupied Virginia. The volume focuses on the effects of war on the civilian infrastructure as well as efforts to maintain the Confederacy. As in previous volumes, Virginia at War, 1864 concludes with an annotated excerpt from the Diary of a Southern Refugee During the War by Richmond's Judith Brockenbrough McGuire."e;The most fully rounded account of Virginia's wartime experience."e; -Charles P. Roland, author of Reflections on Lee: A Historian's Assessment"e;This book covers some interesting areas of lesser-known history of Virginia during the Civil War."e; -The Oklahoman
