Thank you so much - I'm preparing for a discussion of the film of Jewish Soldiers in Blue & gray and needed to be able to share information about the enormity of the death associated with the Civil War. Many thanks. Ironically, Drew Gilpin Faust and I share a 3rd great grand-father who was a Quaker opposed to war!

In my current history class on the battle of Gettysburg we are writing papers on a specific event. The even I chose was the burial and the 'ghost stories.' To get at these topics I need material that explains the way the dead were dealt with at Gettysburg. This pdf is a lovely help to me, saving me a lot of time in finding the book at a library and money if I had to buy it online or from a bookstore.

I'm a student at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta Georgia, using this site to do additional research for my US History to 1877 course. Thank you so much for making this open! It means very much to me, Olivia Reingold, a passionate American Studies student.

Currently doing research for a potential publication involving the monuments at Gettysburg. To better understand the social and religious attitudes of a "Good Death" is invaluable. Have found this article extremely thorough and has taken me to a new perspective in terms of addressing the why of Civil War monuments. My sincere thanks.
