Northerners at War: Reflections on the Civil War Home Front. By J. Matthew Gallman
J. Matthew Gallman’s new collection of essays, Northerners at War , is as much a work of academic autobiography as it is of historical scholarship. Gallman has brought together a collection of eleven previously published essays that, over the years, have not only contributed to our understanding of the Northern home front during the Civil War, but also map out the academic journey and various intellectual pursuits of one of the leading scholars of Pennsylvania’s Civil War experience.
