Writing the Civil War: The Quest to Understand
No event has transformed the United States more fundamentally - or been studied more exhaustively - than the Civil War. In Writing the Civil War, fourteen distinguished historians present a wide-ranging discussion of the vast effort to chronicle the conflict - an undertaking that began with the remembrances of Civil War veterans and has become an increasingly prolific field of scholarship. Covering a variety of topics - from battlefield operations to the impact of race and gender - this volume is an informative guide through the labyrinth of Civil War literature. The contributors provide authoritative and interpretive evaluations of the study and explication of the struggle that has been called the American Iliad.

General History For some years after its institution in 1835 the Geological Survey was preoccupied with the south-western parts of Britain, and it was almost mid-century before the work of “making the geological map” was extended northwards to the borders of Yorkshire. Already several one-inch maps had been completed and were issued, hand-coloured, on what later became known as the “Old-Series” grid, and in 1846 De la Beche published his first volume of Memoirs of the Geological Survey. We find the name of Warington W. Smyth on a detailed section, dated 1845, of the first Woodhead Tunnel which lies partly in Yorkshire. And at about the same time William Smith’s nephew, John Phillips, was spending some eight years of his life on the staff of the Geological Survey, bringing to publication in 1852 the first official map to cover a part of Yorkshire—the original edition of the Old-Series sheet 81 NE., mainly covering the High Peak of Derbyshire but including, on its east side, small parts of the Yorkshire Coalfield near Sheffield.

Once started, the survey of Yorkshire continued at such a pace that its completion was announced in 1882. A small band of field geologists of outstanding ability was responsible for this feat: W. W. Smyth, A. H. Green, C. le Neve Foster, Clifton Ward and J. R. Dakyns who, with John Phillips, brought the survey of the Sheffield area, Sheet 82 NW., to its publication in 1867; W …
