Anyone who has ever been in my office
knows 1 am a Civil War buff; the walls are
covered with prints of battles, significant
events and personalities of that war. I come
by my hobby by inheritance: two of my
great-grandfathers served with the
Union—one in the Ohio 2d Heavy Artil
lery7, the other with the 9th Illinois. My in
terest has been rekindled lately because of
the excellent exhibit, “A House Divided,"
currently on display at the Chicago
Historical Society, and the release of the
film "Glory" about the 54th Massachusetts
Infantry. The latter has all been made more
appropriate because February was Black
History Month.
We have many book titles dealing with
the Civil War, fiction and non-fiction. The
classic combat novel of the Civil War The
Red Badge of Courage, sums up the pro
blem with most of the historical fiction of
that period. It was written by a non
participant after the fact. I am a firm
believer in historical fiction. Dicken's por
trait of 19th century London will always be
the authoritative one no matter how many
revisionist history books are written today.
From Here to Eternity by James Jones and
Norman Mailer’s Naked and the Dead
define World War II for us. It is different
with our Civil War; the best materials that
we have are the diaries, letters, battlefield
art, Mathew Brady photographs, the
museums and their memorabilia.
Gone for a Soldier, Echo of a Distant
Drum, and Battles and Leaders ofthe Civil
War are all good examples of first person
narratives. The Women and the Crisis,
Lee’s Lieutenants, and The Twentieth
Maine are typical of the fine post-war non
fiction that we have. As for historical
fiction, I would recommend Jubilee, Killer
Angels, Across Five Aprils, Unto this Hour,
and Gone With the Wind. I still enjoy Carl
Sandburg’s biographies of Lincoln and
Mary Chesnut’s diaries.
The Civil War has often been called a fire
bell in the night—an exciting time in
American history. What could be more ex
citing than the events in Eastern Europe and
the Soviet Union for the past six months?
The momentous changes we have seen hap
pen are incredible. I am sure people will
read about this thrilling era in history books
a hundred years from now. But until then
I’ll stick with my two-volume edition of The
Gettysburg Papers.

Martha Sloan
Deerfield Welcomes
New Librarian
Deerfield resident Martha Sloan has been
appointed new Reader Services Librarian

Northbrook Public Library. The Deerfield

criticism, and music, and working on
community outreach and the Blind and
Physically Handicapped program. She will
also serve at the Reference Desk half time.

Yale University and a Masters in Library

four, she enjoys gardening and cooking.
She looks forward to working in her home
town and to the challenges of Deerfield
Library’s new directions.
Jack Hicks, Administrative Librarian,
said, “I am delighted that a librarian with
