[Marten] has offered a strong portrayal not only of a man, but also the Gilded Age. . . . The result is a nuanced portrait of a man who was certainly committed to serving the veteran community of his day . . . Consequently, [the author] has helped illuminate late nineteenth-century America., "History enthusiasts whose interests have been confined to the Civil War years would do well to read this short book, for it shows how the conflict continued to affect America--and especially her veterans--for decades after the last shot was fired." --Guy R. Hasegawa, Civil War Monitor, 'eoe[Marten] has offered a strong portrayal not only of a man, but also the Gilded Age. . . . The result is a nuanced portrait of a man who was certainly committed to serving the veteran community of his day . . . Consequently, [the author] has helped illuminate late nineteenth-century America.'e�, Marten gives us a well-written, quite detailed account of Tanner's life and work. He offers many insights into contemporary society, particularly from the perspective of a man with disabilities, at a time when there was almost no awareness of the problems of the handicapped. . . . A volume in UGP's series 'eoeUncivil Wars,'e� America's Corporal is an excellent book, not only because it's about a man who is today largely forgotten, but because of its look at a the problems of disabled veterans in the post-Civil War era., Elegantly written and well-researched . . . Marten's outstanding biography of this fascinating figure demonstrates that Tanner was more than symbolic of Gilded Age corruption. . . . Understanding that some Americans seemed contemptuous of one of the most iconic generations of American veterans, including an individual who suffered catastrophic injuries during his service, is critical to understanding the challenges facing American veterans of all eras and is an extremely valuable lesson of Marten's study., "[An] outstanding stud[y] of life after battle. . . . Mr. Marten focuses on James Tanner, a double amputee who vaulted into prominence when he was drafted on the spot to take the testimony of the witnesses to Lincoln's assassination and who eventually became a spokesman for disabled veterans." --Allen Guelzo, Wall Street Journal, Drawing on a variety of primary sources, Marten, who is chair of the history department at Marquette University, brings Tanner's life and character into focus and shows what it meant to be a veteran in an era that at first worshipped the saviors of the Union but then found ambiguity in their political power and insistence on collecting ever-larger pensions., History enthusiasts whose interests have been confined to the Civil War years would do well to read this short book, for it shows how the conflict continued to affect America--and especially her veterans--for decades after the last shot was fired., [An] outstanding stud[y] of life after battle. . . .

Following Tanner from his enlistment as an enthusiastic seventeen-year-old, through his debilitating double-amputation, and on to his rise as a prominent figure in veterans' affairs, James Marten chronicles a story at once extraordinary and exceedingly representative of the Civil War generation. Situating Tanner within the worlds of wartime medicine, veteran culture, urban life, and Gilded Age politics, Marten once again offers a beautifully written and compelling portrait of late nineteenth-century America., " America's Corporal tells the fascinating story of a common soldier who led an uncommon life. James Tanner fought in the Union army as a teenager, lost his legs in combat at Second Bull Run, then pursued a career in politics and veterans' affairs through the Gilded Age and beyond. James Marten does a remarkable job of recovering the details of Tanner's life and evoking the world of late nineteenth-century America. Readers will find equal pleasure and profit in reading this compelling narrative."--Gary W. Gallagher, author of The Union War and The Confederate War, "[Marten] has offered a strong portrayal not only of a man, but also the Gilded Age. . . .

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
