'Rally, Once Again!' by Alan T Nolan
Alan T. Nolan is one of our most esteemed historians of the Civil War. His classic history The Iron Brigade was chosen as one of the 100 best books ever written on the Civil War by Civil War Times Illustrated. His articles have appeared in such publications as The American Historical Review, Gettysburg Magazine, Civil War, Civil War Times Illustrated, Indiana Magazine of History, and Virginia Magazine of History and Biography and he has been awarded the Nevins-Freeman award by the Chicago Civil War Round Table. Nolan is not the typical Civil-War historian. That he is a top-notch historian, no one can deny. But his legal training at Harvard, his career in the law, and his many years as an officer of the Indiana Historical Society have given him remarkable insights not imaginable by other historians. This new collection of previously published material celebrates Nolan's life-long research and study of the Civil War. Included are essays on the Iron Brigade, Gettysburg, and leaders such as Lincoln, Robert E. Lee, John Gibbon, and Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. Central to all of the essays is Nolan's admiration for the valor of the common soldier and his conviction that the War was neither romantic nor glorious, though its results-emancipation and the maintenance of the Union-were surely monumental.
Alan TNolan's Civil War scholarship is always thoughtful and insightful and often times brilliant. -- Lance Herdegen, Carroll College
Alan T. Nolan has been a major presence in the field of Civil War history since the publication of his classic treatment of the Iron Brigade in 1961. He has produced a body of writings notable for their range, clarity of argument, and determination to challenge romantic conceptions of the conflict. This collection shows Nolan at his best in questioning the iconic status of Robert E. Lee, assessing other military leaders, extending his pioneering study of the Iron Brigade, and evaluating the work of fellow historians. It represents a most welcome addition to the roster of Civil War books. -- Gary Gallagher, University of Virginia
