Arlington National Cemetery is probably the most famous and most frequently visited cemetery in the United States. There are seventy-nine substantive Union Civil War generals and two Confederate generals buried at Arlington, and, until now, no books have been published concerning those eighty-one generals and their burial sites. Phil Sheridan, Daniel Sickles, John Schofield, George Crook, and William Rosecrans are among the famous generals featured. Biographical sketches, complete with photographic portraits, are provided for each general, and each sketch contains sufficient information to give the reader a better understanding of these generals and their war records. One or more photos are provided for each grave site. There are also two appendixes. The first appendix lists the generals by cemetery section numbers, so that anyone visiting the cemetery can easily determine which generals are buried in the various cemetery sections. The second appendix lists the 105 brevet Union generals buried at Arlington by cemetery section numbers, so that readers interested in finding the grave sites of these additional Civil War officers will know which sections to explore. This book is both a history book concerning these generals and a travel guide that helps the reader locate each grave site. The author is a life-long Civil War enthusiast who has worked as a licensed guide at the Gettysburg National Military Park. He has had two books and nine articles published. He currently publishes Grave Matters (www.gravematters.net) a newsletter about Civil War grave sites.

"In early June 1863, the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia launched a summer campaign that brought horrific war to the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania ... On November 19, 1863, the dedication of a new Soldiers National Cemetery marked a critical point in American history. From its conception, the Soldiers National Cemetery in Gettysburg embodied a fitting tribute to those who gave their last full measure of devotion to a grateful nation. Since that fateful summer of 1863, the cemetery has expanded into a place of memoralization for Americans spanning generations ..."--Back cover
Lists burial place, name, and some biographical information of Civil War veterans buried in Pittsburg County, Oklahoma.
The stories of what happened after the shooting stopped and the process of burying bodies in the wake of Civil War carnage and chaos. The clash of armies in the American Civil War left hundreds of thousands of men dead, wounded, or permanently damaged. Skirmishes and battles could result in casualty numbers as low as one or two and as high as tens of thousands. The carnage of the battlefield left a lasting impression on those who experienced or viewed it, but in most cases the armies quickly moved on to meet again at another time and place. When the dust settled and the living armies moved on, what happened to the dead left behind? Unlike battle narratives, The Aftermath of Battle picks up the story as the battle ends. The burial of the dead was an overwhelming experience for the armies or communities forced to clean up after the destruction of battle. In the short-term action, bodies were hastily buried to avoid the stench and the horrific health concerns of massive death; in the long-term, families struggled to reclaim loved ones and properly reinter them in established cemeteries. Visitors to a battlefield often wonder what happened to the dead once the battle was over. This compelling, easy-to-read overview, enhanced with extensive photos and illustrations, provides a look at the aftermath of battle and the process of burying the Civil War dead.
