Editorial Reviews

Review

All of the contributors . . . successfully argue for the appropriateness and validity of incorporating into the historical scholarship the study of material items of cultural significance. . . . Should be read by all Civil War professional historians and graduate students, but many of the essays also exhibit popular appeal sufficient to gain the volume a wider reading audience. Highly recommended.--Andrew Wagenhoffer, Civil War Books and Authors



The first collection of essays devoted solely to Civil War material culture . . . . War Matters pushes readers beyond the idea that relics are just 'things' collected by Civil War enthusiasts and are instead meaningful artifacts that speak to the history of the American Civil War.--The Annals of Iowa



A singular contribution. Once shunted to the side as tidy illustrations, the artifacts of war and peace are now being taken seriously as complicated and revealing forms of evidence. And for that, we owe Cashin and her contributors a debt of gratitude." --Ohio Valley History



The volume convincingly argues that war matter mattered. . . . Together the essays establish war material culture as a fertile field, and they open paths for further research.--Journal of Southern History



A must-read for historians, anthropologists, and sociologists working in the nineteenth century.--Journal of American History



Individually, the essays all add new depth to debates over soldiers' motivations and civilians' loyalties, sectional tensions and military operations, and the process of Reconstruction writ large. . . . Together, the essays pose important questions about material culture studies, which will resonate beyond the study of the war itself.--Journal of the Civil War Era



Cashin's edited collection combines scholarship from some of the preeminent names in the ever-growing field of Civil War material culture. . . . While undoubtedly providing an excellent introduction to the field and its current champions, War Matters serves a broader audience and purpose. Regardless of one's historical interests, there is something to be gained from reading any of the articles included in this collection.--North Carolina Historical Review

Review

A knife. A pocket Bible. A cloak. By holding these and other objects up to the light, these eminent historians reveal the many ways that Americans used the material world to survive and understand the Civil War. This collection will captivate scholars and students of Civil War history and change the way we think about wartime experiences.--Megan Kate Nelson, author of Ruin Nation: Destruction and the American Civil War
