Book Description
As the Civil War entered its first full calendar year for the Old Dominion, Virginians began to experience the full ramifications of the conflict. Their expectations for the coming year did not prepare them for what was about to happen; in 1862 the war became earnest and real, and the state became then and thereafter the major battleground of the war in the East. Virginia emerged from the year 1861 in much the same state of uncertainty and confusion as the rest of the Confederacy. While the North was known to be rebuilding its army, no one could be sure if the northern people and government were willing to continue the war. The landscape and the people of Virginia were a part of the battlefield. Virginia at War, 1862 demonstrates how no aspect of life in the Commonwealth escaped the war's impact. The collection of essays examines topics as diverse as daily civilian life and the effects of military occupation, the massive influx of tens of thousands of wounded and sick into Richmond, and the wartime expansion of Virginia's industrial base, the largest in the Confederacy. Out on the field, Robert E. Lee's army was devastated by the Battle of Antietam, and Lee strove to rebuild the army with recruits from the interior of the state. Many Virginians, however, were far behind the front lines. A growing illustrated press brought the war into the homes of civilians and allowed them to see what was happening in their state and in the larger war beyond their borders. To round out this volume, indefatigable Richmond diarist Judith McGuire continues her day-by-day reflections on life during wartime. The second in a five-volume series examining each year of the war, Virginia at War, 1862 illuminates the happenings on both homefront and battlefield in the state that served as the crucible of America's greatest internal conflict.

Book Description
From Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, to Washington, the capital of the Union, Virginia was the site of many of the most significant battles of the Civil War. Civil War Explorer: Virginia, 1861-1862 contains a lively, informative text that places all battles in their proper context. Not simply armchair history, the book also contains extensive driving tours from Hampton Roads in southeastern Virginia to Harpers Ferry in West Virginia. Included are tours of the First Manassas Campaign, Hampton Roads, the Peninsula Campaign, Civil War Richmond, the Seven Days Battle, the Second Manassas Campaign, Antietam, and Harpers Ferry. Civil War Explorer: Virginia 1861-1862 is the first of four volumes in The Civil War Campaigns Series to cover the war in the East. Five previous books (all selections of the History Book Club) have coveted the war in the West: Fields of Glory, Paths to Victory, To The Sea, Piercing the Heartland, and A River Unvexed.
