A strange and fearful interest
death, mourning, and memory in the American Civil War
by Jennifer A. Watts
"A Strange and Fearful Interest explores how photography and other media were used to describe, to explain, and perhaps to come to terms with the national trauma of the American Civil War. The volume focuses on the Battle of Antietam, not only the bloodiest day in the nation's history but also the first in which photographs of American battlefield dead were made; the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, the national mourning that ensued, and the execution of the conspirators; and the establishment of Gettysburg National Monument as part of larger attempts at reconciliation and healing"--Provided by publisher.
