{"product_id":"the-sixth-wisconsin-and-the-james-marten-9781469684239","title":"The Sixth Wisconsin and the Long Civil War: The Biography of a Regiment","description":"Reimagining one of the oldest genres of Civil War history, this book engagingly presents the story of the war and its aftermath through the lens of a single regiment, the Sixth Wisconsin. One of the core units of the famed Iron Brigade, the Sixth was organized in July 1861 and mustered out in summer 1865, playing major roles at Second Manassas, Antietam, and Gettysburg, and in the Overland campaign of 1864. But the regiment's full history is found in the stories of its men learning to fight and endure far from home amid violence, illness, and death, and in the lives of families that hung on every word in letters and news from the front lines. Those stories also unfolded long after the war's end, as veterans sought to make sense of their experiences and home communities struggled to care for those who returned with unhealed wounds.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMarshaling a vast archive, James Marten has crafted a compelling and highly original biography of the Sixth Wisconsin in war and peace. In seeing the fight through the eyes of the regiment's roughly 2,000 men and those connected to them, readers will understand the long history of the Civil War as never before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Marten\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1469684233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469684239\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"James Marten","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46334393024767,"sku":"9781469684239","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9049877-d2ec-4fb8-831f-d4bcfa22ef04.jpg?v=1731466723","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sixth-wisconsin-and-the-james-marten-9781469684239","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
