Summary:

• This long-awaited book will appeal to general readers as well as students, researchers, and Civil War buffs. Well-written and engaging, it presents a vivid chronological narrative of Wisconsin's role in a pivotal event in U.S. history, the period from the presidential election of 1860 to the end of the fighting and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln in the spring of 1865.
• Klement greatly expanded his acclaimed 1962 booklet on this subject, adding new material on each of Wisconsin's fifty-three infantry regiments, political and constitutional issues, soldiers' voting, women and the war, and Wisconsin's African-American soldiers. This large-format book is illustrated with maps, archival photos, historic engravings of battlefield views, and other period illustrations.
