- Title
Fighting in the Shadows: The Untold Story of Deaf People in the Civil War.
- Authors
LANG, HARRY G.
- Abstract
Although writers have discussed the deaf experience in the periods before and after the Civil War, no one has comprehensively examined deaf people's participation during this national crisis. In this article I summarize the extensive and meaningful involvement of deaf and hard of hearing people in the Civil War. I draw implications for the field of Deaf studies, and I argue for inclusion of the deaf experience as an integral component of mainstream history.
