  Book Description
  After the Civil War, white Confederate and Union army veterans
reentered--or struggled to reenter--the lives and communities they had left behind. In Sing Not War, James Marten
explores how the nineteenth century's "Greatest Generation" attempted to blend back into society and how their
experiences were treated by non-veterans.
  Many soldiers, Marten reveals, had a much harder time reintegrating
into their communities and returning to their civilian lives than has been previously understood. Although Civil War
veterans were generally well taken care of during the Gilded Age, Marten argues that veterans lost control of their
legacies, becoming best remembered as others wanted to remember them--for their service in the war and their postwar
political activities. Marten finds that while southern veterans were venerated for their service to the Confederacy,
Union veterans often encountered resentment and even outright hostility as they aged and made greater demands on the
public purse. Drawing on letters, diaries, journals, memoirs, newspapers, and other sources, Sing Not War illustrates
that during the Gilded Age "veteran" conjured up several conflicting images and invoked contradicting reactions. Deeply
researched and vividly narrated, Marten's book counters the romanticized vision of the lives of Civil War veterans,
bringing forth new information about how white veterans were treated and how they lived out their lives.

  "Engaging, well written, and exhaustive. . . . A timely
and relevant account of the consequences of war on soldiers and civilians alike."--Southwestern Historical Quarterly
  
  "A worthy addition to the growing
body of scholarship on Civil War veterans. For readers new to the topic, it represents a well-written introduction to
the world of the men that served in and survived the Civil War. For scholars knowledgeable on this topic, Marten's study
pulls together many familiar threads and adds some new ones, thoughtfully weaving both."--Civil War Book

admirable shape and definition to an anemic subfield of Civil War history."--Civil War

literature on the Civil War soldier as veteran."--Journal of Illinois History
  
  "No other book combines the cultural and social history of Civil War veterans, North and South, like

lives, revealing their personal and distinctive experiences as they returned home after the war. A vivid, compelling,
and original study that provides surprising new information about 'Johnny Reb' and 'Billy Yank.'"--Joan Waugh, author of U. S. Grant: American Hero, American Myth
