Description of Living by Inches: The Smells, Sounds, Tastes, and Feeling of Captivity in Civil War Prisons (Civil War America)
Review We learn so much from thinking about how people comprehended the meaning of a door swinging shut, the stench of a latrine, the taste of unbolted cornmeal, and the feel of scratchy wool against the skin. In Living by Inches, Kutzler offers new angles on the history and meaning of Civil War soldiers' experience as prisoners and the experiences of those who interacted with them.--Brian P. Luskey, West Virginia UniversityReading Living by Inches, we learn a great deal about the cultural assumptions soldiers brought with them to war--about health and cleanliness, day and night, what was edible, pleasurable, dangerous, degrading, or humiliating. Kutzler uses�their sensory experiences to capture their�confrontations with the limits of their knowledge. He gives us a deeply humane portrait of the past.--Ann Fabian, Rutgers University Read more About the Author Evan A. Kutzler is assistant professor of history at Georgia Southwestern State University. Read more
