{"product_id":"rebel-at-large-philip-van-buskirk-9780786442935","title":"Rebel at Large: The Diary of Confederate Deserter Philip Van Buskirk","description":"\u003cp\u003e This diary is one of the most unusual produced during the Civil War because it contains very little about military life. Early in the war Van Buskirk abandoned his regiment, working as a schoolmaster, farmhand, and casual laborer. He wrote of the suffering civilians endured at the hands of contending armies. But he also found time to chronicle his fascination with handsome young lads he encountered during his life as a deserter--unwittingly providing modern readers an illuminating glimpse of class differences and sexual mores. Naval, social and sexual historians, in particular, will find much valuable source material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Van Buskirk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 078644293X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786442935\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/11\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009 pg. 71","brand":"Philip Van Buskirk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44652109299967,"sku":"9780786442935","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_948871a6-d341-4fd3-adce-4d8b01141395.jpg?v=1704214610","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rebel-at-large-philip-van-buskirk-9780786442935","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
