Reviews"An engaging book on an important topic... [Sweet] examines how poetry and photography helped legitimate the Union cause at the close of the Civil War, how it sanitized the violence and restored the land."-- American Quarterly, "An examination of the symbolic representations of poetry and photography produced during the Civil War... Analyzes the poetry of Walt Whitman, and Herman Melville and the photographs of Matthew Brady, George Barnard, Alexander Gardner, and others... An important contribution that follows a seldom studied path in Civil War literature."-- Civil War News
