This study argues that the image of Union prison officials as negligent and cruel to Confederate prisoners is severely flawed. It explains how Confederate prisoners' suffering and death were due to a number of factors, but it would seem that Yankee apathy and malice were rarely among them.

Lawyer, planter and politician Samuel Hoey Walkup (1818-1876) led the 48th North Carolina Infantry in the Civil War. A devout Christian and Whig nationalist, he opposed secession until hostilities were well underway, then became a die-hard Confederate, serving in the Army of Northern Virginia from the Seven Days battles through Appomattox. Presenting Walkup's complete and annotated writings, this composite biography of an important but overlooked Southern leader reveals an insightful narrator of his times. Having been a pre-war civilian outside the West Point establishment, he offers a candid view of Confederate leadership, particularly Robert E. Lee and A.P. Hill. Home life with his wife Minnie Parmela Reece Price and the enslaved members of their household was a complex relationship of cooperation and resistance, congeniality and oppression. Walkup's story offers a cautionary account of misguided benevolence supporting profound racial oppression.

The most quoted journal of the Civil War years came from the pen of a New Jersey civilian who went South at war's outbreak and worked for four years as a clerk in the Confederate States War Department. John B. Jones' detailed chronicle, A Rebel War Clerk's Diary at the Confederate States Capital, remains today among the top dozen printed primary sources on government and politics in the beleaguered South. Its entries cover every day of the conflict; Jones never left Richmond for the entire four years of the war. He was the constant spectator to men and events in a swollen, bustling city that was both the center of the Confederacy and the principal target of Union military might. Jones's position as a high-level clerk in the War Department gave him an extraordinary perspective from which to view the Southern government in action; it also provided him access to confidential department files- the contents of which leaked sporadically into the unofficial diary that Jones maintained. This journal is also one of the few sources from the time that mention prices and weather -- Provided by publisher.

"I left three years ago to do my part in putting down this unholy rebellion." By 1861, Charles Adam Wetherbee had officially traded his comfortable life as a college student for one that included drafty Sibley tents, long marches in weather and wilderness of all kinds, and bloodshed. A Union infantryman with the Thirty-Fourth Illinois Volunteer Regiment, he survived the battles of Shiloh, Stones River, Liberty Gap, Atlanta, and others. One hundred years later, long after Wetherbee had died, a tattered and faded diary was found at a home in Lawrence, Kansas. The homeowner opened its pages and was astonished to discover that Wetherbee had penned every detail of his daily life during the Civil War. Wetherbee's diary presents a realistic view of what a soldier's life entailed, as the reader is thrust into the firsthand drama of the Civil War as it was endured by enlisted participants. Get a true sense of what the Civil War was like from someone who was there to witness an Unholy Rebellion.
