A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Ohio in any wise connected with the Civil War. meaning thereby all permanent publications on that subject, either in book or pamphlet form. So far, therefore, as years of persistent investigation and patient reading could accomplish, I have collected in these pages a bibliography, the scope of which embraces (i) the publications of Ohio writers concerning the Civil War, and (2) the writings of others in relation to Ohio in the Civil War. In the broader fields of history, biography and science, scholars have been more or less successful in listing the sources of published information on those subjects in bibliographies, but this work is the first attempt to systematize and preserve the literature of the Civil War of any State of the Union. The position which Ohio occupied during the eventful period of the Civil War was one of great dominance and influence. All the power and treasure of her people were cast with the Union. She furnished hundreds of thousands of her young men. and millions of her dollars in its defense. The activity of the sword and the generosity of the purse were equalled by the facility of the pen, and as a result there has descended to this generation a mass of writing on every phase, question and event connecting Ohio with the Civil War. The literature of this important epoch is evidenced by the official reports of the State, the special and general historical writings of this period, the speeches in Congress and political pamphlets, as well as the published utterances of the pulpit, press and rostrum. These, together with the subsequent publications on this subject, constitute the Civil War Literature of Ohio. A classification of this literature as contained in this work can be summarized in the following divisions: I. Official Documents.
