Of the nearly one thousand books of poetry published in the 1860's, some two hundred addressed the war in some way, and these collectively present a textured portrait of life during the conflict. The poets represented here hail from the North and the South, and at times mirror each other uncannily. Among them are housewives, doctors, preachers, bankers, journalists, and teachers. Their verse reflects the day-to-day reality of war, death, and destruction, and it contemplates questions of faith, slavery, society, patriotism, and politics. This is an essential volume for poetry lovers, historians, and Civil War enthusiasts alike. 606 $aAmerican poetry$y19th century 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865$vPoetry 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican poetry 676 $a811.3082 701 $aSteinmetz$b Lee$0920672 701 $aLundberg$b James M$0920673 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463672003321 996 $aThe poetry of the American Civil War$92064874 997 $aUNINA
