This remarkable collection of original essays showcases the depth and vitality of contemporary scholarship on the Civil War era. Drawing inspiration from the pioneering insights of renowned historian Gary W. Gallagher, this volume comprises nine thought-provoking essays by esteemed experts in the field. These scholars delve into a diverse array of themes and participants, exploring the multifaceted aspects of the nation's most significant conflict. From Indigenous communities navigating the treacherous challenges of the secession winter to Confederate guerrillas entangled in the legal complexities of the Union's hard war, to African Americans striving for landownership in the postwar years, the essays offer a comprehensive examination of the many facets of this pivotal period.

The result of this comprehensive examination is a profound tribute to Gallagher's scholarly legacy and a thoughtful appraisal of the current state and future prospects of Civil War history.
