Böcker av Mark H. Dunkelman

Lying dead in Gettysburg with no identification, a lone Union soldier was named the "Unknown Soldier." Dunkelman weaves the story of Sgt. Humiston, his widow, and his children who struggled the rest of their lives.

Patrick Henry Jones's obituary vowed that "his memory shall not fade among men." Yet in little more than a century, history has largely forgotten Jones's considerable accomplishments in the Civil War and the Gilded Age that followed. In this masterful biography, Mark Dunkelman resurrects Jones's story and restores him to his rightful standing.

Presents an innovative and provocative study of the most notorious campaigns of the Civil War - Sherman's devastating 1864 "March to the Sea" and the 1865 Carolinas Campaign. The book follows the 154th New York regiment through three states and chronicles 150 years, from the start of the campaigns to their impact today.

Using many previously untapped sources, this book tells the tale of 19th-century war, sentiment, and popular culture in greater detail than ever before. The Humiston story touched deep emotions in Civil War America, and inspired a flood of heartfelt prose, poetry, and song.
