When Private Walter G. Dunn of the Eleventh New Jersey Infantry went off to war, he began a correspondence with young Emma Randolph, a woman not yet twenty. When he was carried from the smoke and carnage of Chancellorsville to a crowded, filthy hospital ward in Baltimore, their real story began. There, barely recovered, bloodied and dazed with ether, he aided overworked surgeons when the Gettysburg wounded poured into the city and regularly took up his pen to relay everyday events that became history. She replied in kind. At home, men were torn by guilt, women lost in grief, and a presidential election loomed. But there were also church picnics, strawberry festivals, ice cream socials, and trips to the ocean. In time they realized their love for one another and planned a life together after the war ended. This was the American Civil War for many who lived it, a tragedy viewed through the eyes of a courageous youth and an unforgettable young woman.

Maryland in the Civil War: A House Divided

Torn between North and South, Maryland experienced the Civil War in ways that were at once unique and a reflection of the state's reputation as "America in miniature." Now Robert Cottom and Mary Ellen Hayward offer a vivid and engaging history of Maryland's role in the war, richly illustrated with engravings, reproductions of rare documents, and photographs--many in full color--and supplemented with lively passages from contemporary news accounts, diaries, and personal letters.Distributed for the Maryland Historical Society.
