- Title
Grand Army of Labor: Workers, Veterans, and the Meaning of the Civil War.

- Abstract
Ideas about historical memory and the uses of the past deeply inform Matthew E. Stanley's layered I Grand Army of Labor: Workers, Veterans, and the Meaning of the Civil War i . Each of the central chapters focuses on a different group through which Stanley presents an inclusive view of labor that incorporates urban and rural workers, white and Black workers, and male and female workers. Deftly using varied and often competing Civil War memories, Stanley elucidates both the emancipatory possibilities of an inclusive and multiracial abolitionism for labor and the limitations of that promise in the years that followed.
