Abstract |
"Drawing on rich, previously untapped sources, Stephen V. Ash tells an absorbing tale of the city's diverse inhabitants. Civilians and soldiers, slaves and masters, refugees and prisoners, clerks and factory workers, preachers and prostitutes, patriots and draft-dodgers, the sick and the wounded--all endured a deluge of calamities such as no other American city has ever known"-- Provided by publisher. |
