“In Exploring the American Civil War through 50 Historic Treasures, Julie Holcomb relates the inspiring and painful history of the Civil War era through photographs, letters, objects, and art. Her compelling work underscores how material culture can help the public understand a complex past that continues to echo in our society today.”

Moral Commerce will appeal to a broad range of readers, from students in upper division undergraduate college courses to graduate students to informed readers in general. This account should certainly be read by every scholar of both American and British antislavery, black nationalism, African recolonization, and social reform movements.”

"Superbly edited [Southern Sons, Northern Soldiers] makes a vital contribution to Civil War studies. The brothers' literacy and knack for language greatly aid the effects of this book."
