The only state designated by Congress as a Civil War National Heritage Area, Tennessee witnessed more than its share of Civil War strife. This collection taken from primary documents-including newspaper accounts, official reports, journal and diary entries, gunboat deck logs and letters-offers rare glimpses of the Civil War as it unfolded in the Volunteer State. Arranged chronologically from April 1861 to April 1865, the accounts chronicle some of the numerous smaller skirmishes of the war and address a variety of topics critical to the civilian population, including health issues, politics, anti-Semitism, inflation, welfare, commodities speculation, refugees, African Americans, Native Americans, and the war's effect on women. These informative accounts go beyond the customary emphasis on famous generals and big battles to illustrate how the Civil War impacted the lives of those everyday soldiers and Tennessee citizens whose history has become marginalized. Some of the topics included are Shiloh, Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Stones River, Union City, Murfreesboro, slaves, United States Colored Troops, zinc coffins, smuggling, general orders, special orders, cyprians, prostitutes and prostitution, secession, secessionist, abolition, abolitionism, committee of public safety, committee of public vigilance, Nathan Bedford Forrest, U.
