Editor's Note


This issue of the IMH is the first in our 100th year of publication. It focuses on the Civil War, that perennial favorite topic among readers of American history—both here in Indiana (at least to judge from the results of our 2004 readers' poll) and across the country. One hundred-and-forty years after Appomattox, the events of the war—and the clashing principles that led to them—continue to draw public interest to a degree that is nearly unmatched among the signal events of the nation's history. Our reviews and review notices for this issue reflect that continued interest; we have included a number of relevant recent titles that we feel will interest specialists and general readers alike.

The document—found, transcribed, and annotated by George P. Clark of Louisville, Kentucky—is augmented here both by Clark's own introduction and by remarks from historian J. D. Fowler, who sets its contents into the context of other war memoirs. . . .
