Contents:

Prologue: murders and movements -- Nation building on the road -- Armies on the march and the languages of motion -- Southerners on the run -- Dissolution in motion: the end of the Confederacy -- Epilogue: memory and movement.

Summary: The Civil War thrust millions of men and women--rich and poor, soldiers and civilians, enslaved and free--onto the roads of the South. During four years of war, Southerners lived on the move. In the hands of Yael A. Sternhell, movement becomes a radically new means to perceive the full trajectory of the Confederacy's rise, struggle, and ultimate defeat. --from publisher description.
