This is the name I have given to the ongoing project I have developed for myself to chronicle the lesser-known people and events of the Civil War era beginning with the
publication of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin in 1852, and continuing through the end of the Civil War and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln in April 1865.
I currently have created more than twenty pieces which were inspired by the incidents and people in the years leading up to, and just beyond, the First Battle of Manassas (also
known as First Bull Run). Though the series is slow to unfold, I have a firm commitment to allowing each piece whatever amount of time it may take to see completion; I
believe it is the best way to give respect to those Americans who lived through this defining era. --Amy V. Lindenberger
