"A definitive history of homelessness in the United States..." -- page 4 of cover.
Excerpt from Prison, Camp and Pulpit: The Life of a City Missionary in the Slums; Talks and Tramps Here and There, the Record of an Eventful Life To begin at the beginning - I was born in 1846, May 2d, in the First Ward of the city of Oswego, N. Y. Oswego people know the sec tion well, especially the locality where I was born and reared? The Flats. There is no portion of the town which has sent out half so many toughs, or been the birthplace of so much riot, confusion and crime. People in other parts of the town have fanciqy named Seneca street, near which I was born, The Dead Line, be cause there was a time when no officer of the law, or respectable person from another ward, dared to cross it after nightfall; and, if he did, it was at his own peril.

This is Volume II of a bibliography of works on the homelessness and is dedicated to the many homeless people who discussed their situation during the author's research across the United States.
Covering the entire period from the colonial era to the late twentieth century, this book is the first scholarly history of the homeless in America. Drawing on sources that include records of charitable organizations, sociological studies, and numerous memoirs of formerly homeless persons, Kusmer demonstrates that the homeless have been a significant presence on the American scene for over two hundred years. He probes the history of homelessness from a variety of angles, showing why people become homeless; how charities and public authorities dealt with this social problem; and the diverse ways in which different class, ethnic, and racial groups perceived and responded to homelessness. Kusmer demonstrates that, despite the common perception of the homeless as a deviant group, they have always had much in common with the average American. Focusing on the millions who suffered downward mobility, Down and Out, On the Road provides a unique view of the evolution of American society and raises disturbing questions about the repeated failure to face and solve the problem of homelessness.

I,II, and III, regimental publications, personal narratives, biographies, campaigns and battles, Northern and Southern. Felton?s new compilation is without peer. He covers the subject from five different perspectives: Regimental Publications and Personal Narratives, Union and Confederate Biographies, General References, Armed Forces and Campaigns and Battles.And, making the work extremely useful, the last 236 pages contain a complete Index of Authors of Volumes I through IV as well as a new Index of Titles in the Revised Volume IV.Furthermore, to clear up confusion created by the multiple names often used by Confederate units during the war ? artillery batteries in particular ? which carried a state designation but were commonly known by the battery commander?s name, Felton has cited a written work with a single number designation but indexed and listed it under its common appellation to aid the researcher and eliminate confusion.
