The Smell of Battle, the Taste of Siege - A Sensory History of the Civil War

The Smell of Battle, the Taste of Siege considers how all five senses--sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch--shaped the course, meaning, and content of the Civil War, and explores the impact of the war's sensory experience on multiple constituencies, including Confederate and Union soldiers and sailors, southern and northern civilians, women, and slaves.
