Thanks so much for taking the time to read this post. What next? Scroll down and leave a comment if you are so inclined. Looking for more Civil War content? Join the Civil War Memory Facebook group and follow me on Twitter. Check out my book, Remembering the Battle of the Crater: War as Murder, which is an ideal introduction to the subject of Civil War memory and the 1864 battle.
What a wonderful book! :<) I'll bet you could use it in class! If you go to bookfinder.com you can find copies for less than $5. I also noticed there is a "Shirley temple" edition. This must be the basis for her movie. I wonder what changes if any were made in the 1930s from the 1914 play. Bet you could get some good discussion in classs about that!
I thought the same thing. It’s a wonderful source that is easily accessible for students.
“The Enmity Between North and South Is Dead”
That was before Facebook.
“the clean white spirit of HUMANITY.” I dunno ….
