MARCHING FOR UNION: A Civil War Soldier's Walk Across the Reconstruction South
In 1868, a Union veteran named Gilbert Bates made a bet that he could walk safely through the post-Civil War South carrying a U.S. flag. Recounts the courage of a former soldier who believed strongly in the bonds of Union and Lincoln's "mystic chords of memory" and underscores the missed opportunities for a more perfect union. 26 pages of photos.
