About This Item
Quote from back of dust jacket: " Improbably gripping and often deeply moving, On Hallowed Ground chronicles both the evolution of our national cemetery and the profound ways in which treatment of the war dead reflects a nation's soul. Readers interested in political, social, or military history from the Civil War on will want to read this book." - Caroline Alexander, Author
