Conflicting Memories on the River of Death: The Chickamauga Battlefield and the Spanish-American War, 1863-1933
Bradley Keefer has done an outstanding job of illuminating not only the Spanish American War s impact on Chickamauga but alsohow the memory of that event compared to and conflicted with the Civil War veterans memory of their own war. It is a delightfulstudy of how and why memory is established, as well as how and why in other cases it is not. An important addition to our collective understanding of America s martialpast.
