Contents: Completely Outgeneraled (Cross was one of the North’s fightingest colonels – on and off the field of battle. He aimed his wrath at Union Major General Joe Hooker in his account of the 1863 Chancellorsville Campaign); New Orleans’ Haven For History (Dedicated historians have kept the flame alive for more than a century in New Orleans’ neglected Warehouse District. Now development is brightening the neighborhood, and visitors are rediscovering Civil War heritage at the Confederate Museum); A Fight For Missouri (Missourians were deeply divided at the war’s beginning. When the difference of opinion became an open battle at Athens, neighbors and relatives found themselves on opposite sides of the shooting); Reluctant Raider (When the feared C.S.S. Alabama and Florida were joined by a third commerce raider, the Georgia, the future of Union shipping looked grim. But did the Georgia and her polite skipper have what it took to do real damage to Northern commerce?); Code-Crackers (When Civil War military leaders needed to communicate quickly and privately, they turned to the telegraph and secret codes. When their enemies wanted to know what they were up to, they turned to wiretapping and a secret weapon: the code-crackers); A Traitor In The Senate (Early in the war, suspicious Unionists trusted no one in the Northern capital – especially not a freshman senator from Oregon with a reputation for sympathy with the South); “A Hell On Earth” (Civil War soldiers thought nothing could be worse than life on the firing line, until they became prisoners of war. St. Louis’s Gratiot Street Prison made captured Rebels long for the battlefield) Departments – Behind The Lines; News; Letters To The Editor; In Print; Coming Events; Time Lapse
