Harwell presents years of research on the Civil War as he takes the reader back to the days leading to the outbreak of war until a month or so after the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. As the book progresses, some readers may find that they are subtly drawn into the psyche of the Confederate citizens. We get a clear picture of the social life in the first Confederate capital, Montgomery, Alabama, and see the human elements as we learn about the origin and use of the tune of Dixie. Chosen from thousands of Confederate publications, these early accounts show the manner in which published sources wholeheartedly supported the Confederate effort.
