PROJECT DESCRIPTION
It's a well-known fact that all books on the American Civil War are legally required to feature an image of a soldier. It is my honest hope that this cover fulfills that requirement.
"The contributors to this volume—scholars of animal history and Civil War historians—argue for an animal-centered narrative to complement the human-centered accounts of the war... It is time to recognize and appreciate the animal experience of the Civil War period."
