{"product_id":"9781461714477","title":"Lessons of War: The Civil War in Children's Magazines","description":"While information regarding children and their outlook on the war is not abun-dant, James Marten, through extensive research, has uncovered essays, editorials, articles, poems, games, short stories and letters that tell the story of the Civil War through the eyes of children.\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eLessons of War: The Civil War in Children's Magazines\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of such items, gathered from popular children's magazines that were published during this era. The selections in \u003ci\u003eLessons of War\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrate the depth of children's involve-ment in the war, from raising funds for soldiers to incorporating the war into their play activities and eagerly accepting northern political attitudes.\u003c\/p\u003e The era's leading children's magazines, such as The Little Pilgrim, The Little Corporal, and Student and Schoolmate, used first-person accounts to let the children of the Civil War tell their own stories. Marten's commentary illuminates the vision of the Union war effort presented to children as the nation waged war against itself. Sure to enlighten both scholars and students, \u003ci\u003eLessons of War\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable addition to courses on the Civil War and American social and cultural history.","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47129066995952,"sku":"9781461714477","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781461714477_p0.jpg?v=1769890099","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781461714477","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
