Produktbeschreibung
Experience the transformation of wartime Richmond from a fledgling industrial city to a military citadel. As the capital of the new Confederate States of America, situated only ninety miles from Washington D.C., Richmond was under constant threat. During the war the city more than doubled in population and become the industrial center of a prolonged and costly war effort. The amazing transformation of the city included the creation of a massive hospital system, military training camps, new industries and shifting social roles for everyone, including women and African Americans. The civilian population suffered not only shortage and hardship, but constant anxiety. Local historians Jack Trammell and Guy Terrell detail the excitement, the fear and eventually the bitter disappointment of Richmond during the Civil War.
