Thus begins \u003ci\u003eThe Aeneid\u003c\/i\u003e, Vergil's epic poem dedicated to his hero, Aeneas. It was there that the concept of singing the praises of heroes began. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Civil War had its share of heroes, and they have been widely \"sung about.\" Abraham Lincoln has had more books written about him than perhaps any other historical figure than Jesus Christ. Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Lee, Longstreet, Jackson, and many others are well-known personalities about whom countless works have been written as they too were \"sung about.\" The same is true of civilians such as Clara Barton, Harriet Tubman, and Frederick Douglass. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt the same time, there are hundreds, perhaps even thousands of others who played critical roles in the Civil War who have been forgotten and\/or neglected in the writing of history. They are \"unsung.\" They are the men and women who truly made a difference, forgotten heroes who have faded into the background of memory. These men and women \"behind the scenes\" played an unrecognized, yet often crucial role in the history of \"The American Iliad\" and helped the United States win the war. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Obviously, there are more than 50 such people. But I have chosen a representative group who were active in a wide variety of fields, not only on the battlefield, but also in the board room, the military hospital, government, and elsewhere. They all played a role in the victory of the United States over the forces of reaction, slavery, and secessionism. They are the forgotten heroes of the Union. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gene Schmiel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798302002792\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.48d","brand":"Gene Schmiel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800856932607,"sku":"9798302002792","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/civil-war-forgotten-union-heroes-gene-schmiel-9798302002792","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
