Kritik
"This significant book is necessary reading for those who wish to understand the construction of public order and the transformation of urban institutions in the nineteenth century."-American Historical Review "Thanks in part to Gallman's efforts, we may well have an understanding of the meanings of the Civil War on the home front and in the localities that complements and enhances our understanding of its great significance for the nation as a whole."-Reviews in American Historymehr
