Excerpt from A History of the One Hundred and Seventeenth Regiment, N. Y. Volunteers (Fourth Oneida): From the Date of Its Organization, August, 1862, Till That of Its Muster Out, June The book which is now presented to the public, laid its origin in the oft-repeated wish of many members of the regiment that its record might be preserved; and in a personal sympathy with the proposed object. While, therefore, claiming no special adaptation for the work, the writer has been prevailed upon, by these considerations, to undertake it. While unwilling to admit that any other regiment was superior to the 117th, he is not disposed to represent it as peculiarly meritorious; neither he nor the public can ever be unmindful of the valor and valuable services of the 14th, 26th, 97th, and 146th Regiments, nor are any, more ready to accord to them the esteem and gratitude they so abundantly earned than the members of the 4th Oneida.

Edited by Gary Gallagher and Elizabeth Varon, two of the most prominent nineteenth-century American historians in the nation, New Perspectives on the Union War provides a more nuanced understanding of what “Union” meant in the Civil War North by exploring how various groups of northerners conceived of the term. The essays in this volume demonstrate that while there was a broad consensus that the war was fought, or should be fought, for the cause of Union, there was bitter disagreement over how to define that cause—debate not only between political camps but also within them. The chapters touch on economics, politics, culture, military affairs, ethnicity, and questions relating to just war. Contributors: Michael T. Caires, Frank Cirillo, D.H. Dilbeck, Jack Furniss, Jesse George-Nichol, William B. Kurtz, Peter C. Luebke, and Tamika Nunley
In 1863 Confederate forces confronted the Union garrison at Suffolk Virginia, and an exhausting and deadly campaign followed. Wills (history and philosophy, U. of Virginia-Wise) focuses on how the ordinary people of the region responded to the war. He finds that many remained devoted to the Confederate cause, while others found the demands too difficult and opted in a number of ways not to carry them any longer.
