Virginia at War, 1862

by William C. Davis and James I Roberston Jr.

From the publisher:
In Virginia at War, 1862, we see 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. Virginians' expectations for the coming year did not prepare them for what was about to happen, for in 1862 the war became earnest and real, and the Old Dominion became then and thereafter the major battleground of the war in the East. The landscape and the people of Virginia were a part of the battlefield, and as the contributors to Virginia at War, 1862 attest, no individual and no aspect of life in the Commonwealth could escape the war's impact.

William C. Davis is director of programs at the Virginia Center for Civil War Studies. James I. Robertson Jr. is Alumni Distinguished Professor of History at Virginia Tech.
