Concord and the Civil War: From Walden Pond to the Gettysburg Front (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781540222732)

While the shots of the Civil War were largely fired far from Walden Pond, Concord did more than its part in fighting for cause and comrades." As its boys marched into battle, the Concord Soldiers Aid Society sent clothing and sustenance to the battlefront. The community hosted leaders of the antislavery movement, including Emerson, Thoreau, the Alcotts and Frederick Douglass. Brave Concordians such as Louisa May Alcott joined the fray as nurses alongside more than 450 soldiers from Concord. Author Rick Frese explores Concord's Civil War, at home, on the road, in battles and encampments and on through to victory."
