Here's a small sampling of my work.

The Fabric of Civil War Society: Uniforms and Flags, 1859-1939

This book traces the history of how Americans in both the North and the South procured, wore, felt about, and remembered uniforms, badges, and flags from the secession crisis through the 1930s. This is a story of the centrality of uniforms, badges, and flags to how soldiers on both sides of the war negotiated their identity. For all Americans, these items embodied patriotism, or treason, or status, or degradation. Far from the tidy concepts of a Hollywood film costume department, the realities of how soldiers wore their uniforms on the battlefield were myriad. Americans used the symbolism of uniforms to negotiate the complex terrain of identity in a country torn apart by the Civil War and redefining its national and regional identities. By recovering the processes through which soldiers received, kept, lost, and replaced their uniforms, badges, and flags, this book offers a way to see how soldiers and civilians crafted their own understanding of their significance.

My first Public history project
