Walking, Running, and Marching into an Environmental History of the Civil War
The Blue, the Gray, and the Green: Toward an Environmental History of the Civil War
(2015)
Abstract
The Blue, the Gray, and the Green is one of only a handful of books to apply an environmental history approach to the Civil War. This book explores how nature―disease, climate, flora and fauna, and other factors―affected the war and also how the war shaped Americans’ perceptions, understanding, and use of nature. The contributors use a wide range of approaches that serve as a valuable template for future environmental histories of the conflict.
