By Edward Conrad Smith

Book Overview

The Borderland in the Civil War is a historical non-fiction book written by Edward Conrad Smith. The book explores the impact of the American Civil War on the border states of Kentucky, Missouri, and Maryland. These states were unique in that they were slave states that remained loyal to the Union, and as a result, were often hotbeds of conflict and violence during the war.The book provides a comprehensive overview of the political, social, and economic factors that contributed to the unique position of these states during the Civil War. It also examines the military campaigns and battles that took place in the border states, including the Battle of Perryville in Kentucky, the Battle of Wilson's Creek in Missouri, and the Battle of Antietam in Maryland.Throughout the book, Smith provides detailed accounts of the experiences of soldiers and civilians in the border states, drawing on primary sources such as diaries, letters, and newspapers. He also analyzes the impact of the war on race relations and slavery in the region, as well as the legacy of the conflict in the years that followed.Overall, The Borderland in the Civil War is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the American Civil War, particularly the role of the border states in the conflict. It offers a nuanced and detailed perspective on a complex and often overlooked aspect of the war, and sheds light on the experiences of those who lived through this turbulent period in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
