Omschrijving
A collection of little-known Civil War stories reveals eerie deaths, ghostly premonitions, and unsettling historical oddities.
Gothic and Strange True Tales of the Civil War includes dozens of bizarre incidents from the days before, during, and after the war that are not well-known to general readers or professional historians. These stories include legal ramifications of slavery not mentioned in standard history books; soldiers' executions; premonitions and ghosts; the link between a Lincoln assassin and a Jack the Ripper suspect; wealthy antebellum black slaveowners; strange battlefield deaths; problems concerning disposal of massive numbers of dead soldiers; tricks used to escape the draft; multiracial Confederate soldiers; the full story of the embalming and exhibition of Lincoln's body; examples showing that selling humans at auction was still legal and often practiced long after the war; and much more.
