Richard F. Nation is an associate professor of history at Eastern Michigan University. He is the author of At Home in the Hoosier Hills: Agriculture, Politics, and Religion in Southern Indiana, 1810-1870. Stephen E. Towne is an associate university archivist at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis. He is the editor of A Fierce, Wild Joy: The Civil War Letters of Colonel Edward J. Wood, 48th Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment.
“Editors Nation and Towne, both superbly qualified, have produced a
volume which should be required in any college course in
nineteenth-century Indiana history. The book is also a must for
readers interested in the Civil War or Indiana history. They will
find excellent introductions to each chapter and a fascinating
variety of original documents, each with informative annotation.
Highly recommended.”
“Indiana’s War offers an excellent collection of primary source
documents that will prove useful to scholars and students of the
Civil War and midwestern history.… The editors provide brief, but
interpretive introductions to the book as a whole and each chapter,
along with a chronology and a section of discussion questions,
which all combine to make this a powerful teaching tool for use in
the college classroom.”
