Description
by Edmund Wilson (Author)
Critical/biographical portraits of such notable figures as Harriet Beecher Stowe, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Ambrose Bierce, Mary Chesnut, William Tecumseh Sherman, and Oliver Wendell Holmes prove Wilson to be the consummate witness to the most eloquently recorded era in American history.
Back Jacket
In his introduction to Patriotic Gore, Edmund Wilson asks, 'Has there ever been another historical crisis of the magnitude of 1861-1865 in which so many people were so articulate?' Regarded by many critics as Wilson's greatest book, Patriotic Gore more than proves the point, brilliantly portraying the vast political, spiritual, and material crisis of the Civil War as reflected in the lives and writings of some thirty representative Americans.
