    Richard D Starnes, Alice Fahs et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Southern History2005

    The Civil War retains a powerful hold on the American imagination, with each generation since 1865 reassessing its meaning and importance in American life.

  • The Imagined Civil War: Popular Literature of the North and South, 1861-1865

    Jean H Baker, Alice FahsARTICLEJournal of American History2001

    Alice Fahs's The Imagined Civil Wa r reintro duces historians to the poems, short stories, novels, songs, “juveniles,” and histories that circulated as vernacular literature during the Civil War. It is not so much that these forms of expression have been forgotten. Most Americans can hum the “Yellow Rose of Texas” or Maryland's inappropriate state song, “Maryland, My Maryland.” We remember as well that our sixteenth president was a great admirer …
