How far the heads of families may be willing to allow it to circulate among the younger members, it must be left for them to determine; but, if intelligent parents had had my experience they would place this book in the hands of all children who are capable of being interested in it. In other words. They would take no pains to conceal it from children of any age, because only those who un derstand it will become interested. And all possessing this degree of comprehension are liable to obtain erroneous and injurious information upon the same taplcs through inpure and corrupting channels. Though much care be exercised to pre vent it. This is a fact which a large correspondence with young people has impre-ed upon the mind of the author, and would commend the earnest attention of all parents and guardians. If they possessed the means of knowing what the writer does. I have received enough lamentations from the young of both sexes, resulting from their indiscretions. To fill these pages. And many of their letters do not hesitate to charge their parents with cruel neglect in keeping from them a knowledge of such vital importance. If this work is adjudged unsuitable. May be other works can be found that will answer the purpose, although I doubt if there is another book wherein the relations of all the organs of the system to each other. And those of the moral nature to the physical body. Are more faithfully traced. For the adult this work contains information which no man or woman can word to do without, when it may be obtained at a price so comparatively trifling. If the physiological deductions and social views of the author be not accepted the valuable facts upon which they are based remain. And the reader is at liberty to use them to sustain cplnions and suggestions which he may adjudge more accept able to the popular mind. Anything, everything - that the human family may grow wiser and happier. B. B. I.

Finalist for the 2011 Gilder
Lehrman Lincoln Prize


"A seminal work. . . . One of
the best examples of new, sophisticated scholarship on the social history of
Civil War soldiers."
—The Journal of Southern History

“Will undoubtedly, and properly, be
read as the latest word on the role of manhood in the internal dynamics of the
Union army."
—Journal of the Civil War Era

During the Civil War, the Union
army appeared cohesive enough to withstand four years of grueling war against
the Confederates and to claim victory in 1865. But fractiousness bubbled below
the surface of the North’s presumably united front. Internal fissures were rife
within the Union army: class divisions, regional antagonisms, ideological
differences, and conflicting personalities all distracted the army from
quelling the Southern rebellion.

In this highly original
contribution to Civil War and gender history, Lorien Foote reveals that these internal
battles were fought against the backdrop of manhood. Clashing ideals of
manliness produced myriad conflicts, as when educated, refined, and wealthy
officers (“gentlemen”) found themselves commanding a hard-drinking group of
fighters (“roughs”)—a dynamic that often resulted in violence and even death. Based
on extensive research into heretofore ignored primary sources, The Gentlemen and the Roughs uncovers
holes in our understanding of the men who fought the Civil War and the society
that produced them.
