• Introduction; 1. What is a Union veteran?; 2. Changed men; 3. When war came; 4. Perilous years; 5. Aftershocks; 6. Trials of black veterans; 7. Heavy laden; Conclusion.

'The hidden injuries of war are by no means an invention of the last hundred years. Veterans of the American Civil War carried the often silent and unacknowledged traces of combat with them, in body and soul, for the rest of their lives. Logue and Blanck merit our gratitude for having brought the American soldiers of 1861–65, Northerners and Southerners, black and white, into the growing body of literature on the war-related mortality and morbidity of soldiers who return from war.' Jay Winter, author of War beyond Words: Languages of Remembrance from the Great War to the Present and editor of The Cambridge History of the First World War
