Book Synopsis Mennonites, Amish, and the American Civil War by : James O. Lehman
Download or read book Mennonites, Amish, and the American Civil War written by James O. Lehman and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2007-10-28 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the American Mennonite and Amish communities response to the Civil War and the effect t it had upon them. During the American Civil War, the Mennonites and Amish faced moral dilemmas that tested the very core of their faith. How could they oppose both slavery and the war to end it? How could they remain outside the conflict without entering the American mainstream to secure legal conscientious objector status? In the North, living this ethical paradox marked them as ambivalent participants to the Union cause; in the South, it marked them as clear traitors. In the first scholarly treatment of pacifism during the Civil War, two experts in Anabaptist studies explore the important role of sectarian religion in the conflict and the effects of wartime Americanization on these religious communities. James O. Lehman and Steven M. Nolt describe the various strategies used by religious groups who struggled to come to terms with the American mainstream without sacrificing religious values—some opted for greater political engagement, others chose apolitical withdrawal, and some individuals renounced their faith and entered the fight. Integrating the most recent Civil War scholarship with little-known primary sources and new information from Pennsylvania and Virginia to Illinois and Iowa, Lehman and Nolt provide the definitive account of the Anabaptist experience during the bloodiest war in American history. “I found this book fascinating. It is an easy read, with lots of arresting stories of faith under test. Its amazingly thorough research, which comes through on every page, makes the book convincing.” —Al Keim, Shenandoah Mennonite Historian “An impressive work in every way: gracefully written, broadly researched, careful and measured in its conclusions. It is likely to become the definitive work on its subject.” —Thomas D. Hamm, Indiana Magazine of History “In this fascinating study, Lehman and Nolt perform a miraculous feat: they find a small unexplored backwater in the immense sea of literature on the American Civil War.” —Perry Bush, Michigan Historical Review

Book Synopsis Faith in the Fight by : John Wesley Brinsfield
Download or read book Faith in the Fight written by John Wesley Brinsfield and published by Stackpole Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For both the Union and Confederate soldiers, religion was the greatest sustainer of morale in the Civil War, and faith was a refuge in times of need. Guarding and guiding the spiritual well-being of the fighters, the army chaplain was a voice of hope and reason in an otherwise chaotic military existence. The clerics' duties did not end after Sunday prayers; rather, many ministers could be found performing daily regimental duties, and some even found their way onto fields of battle.

Book Synopsis Faces of the Civil War by : Ronald S Coddington
Download or read book Faces of the Civil War written by Ronald S Coddington and published by Johns Hopkins University Press+ORM. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archival images and biographical sketches of Union soldiers tell the stories of their lives during and after the Civil War. Before leaving to fight in the Civil War, many Union and Confederate soldiers posed for a carte de visite, or visiting card, to give to their families, friends, or sweethearts. Invented in 1854 by a French photographer, the carte de visite was a small photographic print roughly the size of a modern trading card. The format arrived in America on the eve of the Civil War, fueling intense demand for the keepsakes. Many cards of Civil War soldiers survive today, but the experiences?and often the names?of the individuals portrayed have been lost to time. A passionate collector of Civil War–era photography, Ron Coddington researched the history behind these anonymous faces in military records, pension files, and other public and personal documents. In Faces of the Civil War, Coddington presents 77 cartes de visite of Union soldiers from his collection and tells the stories of their lives during and after the war. These soldiers came from all walks of life. All were volunteers. Their personal stories reveal a tremendous diversity in their experience of war: many served with distinction, some were captured, some never saw combat while others saw little else. The lives of survivors were even more disparate. While some made successful transitions back to civilian life, others suffered permanent physical and mental disabilities, which too often wrecked their families and careers. In compelling words and haunting pictures, Faces of the Civil War offers a unique perspective on the most dramatic and wrenching period in American history.

Book Synopsis The Civil War Letters of Joseph and Mary Carter of Bear Lake PA 1861-1865 by : Don Rickerson

This book was released on 2014-10-31 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph Carter of Bear Lake PA was 34 years old when he was drafted into the Union Army in 1863, serving until the end of the Civil War. He was married to Mary Ellen Howles in 1854. They had a successful 90 acre farm and five children in the Village of Bear Lake in northwestern Pennsylvania. Joseph was an older soldier by any measurement. He was not rich, famous, commissioned or privileged so his writing is that of a simple gentleman. He served as an infantryman with the 82nd Pennsylvania Volunteer Regiment throughout the war seeing many skirmishes and battles. We are fortunate to have the exchange of letters between Joseph and Mary. As paper was very scarce in army camps, Joseph would write on the back of Mary’s letters and send them back to her. Joseph was a foot soldier thought out his enlistment. He endured the boredom of soldiering, periodic carnage of battle and incarceration in Libby Prison as a Prisoner of War. Mary and the children stayed at the farm and kept it running while awaiting his return. The letters they exchanged showed how they tried to keep each other’s spirits up while they were apart. Mary kept Joseph apprised of the happening with the family, the farm, and the village. Joseph in turn wrote Mary of his travels, battles, and army camp life. Joseph nearly died during his imprisonment at Libby Prison in Richmond VA in January-February 1865. He was so emaciated after he was released from the Army hospital at Camp Parole on furlough home that no one recognized him. It was said that you could see candle light through his hands. He returned to the army in June 1865 and served till the 82nd was mustered out in July 1865. After the war, he returned to his wife Mary and the farm at Bear Lake. They had seven more children. At age 46, in 1876 he applied for a veteran’s pension due to health issues from Libby Prison. He died at age 50 on 7 July 1889.
