Abstract

Reviewer Ryan W. Keating touts Diana Dretke’s The Bonds of War: A Story of Immigrants and Esprit De Corps in Company C, 9^th Illinois Volunteer Infantry as microhistory par excellence. This study of five friends and neighbors who fought alongside one another in the 96^th Illinois after having migrated to the United States illuminates “the importance of local community and the ways in which those at home and in arms were bound through the common connection of the war and military service.”
