Hoosier Voices NOW
Leading Civil War historians, in new and original essays, explore and interpret Indiana’s participation in the Civil War and its effects on Indiana’s people. The core essays address issues and themes in the Civil War era. Topical essays focus more narrowly on specific individuals, events, and organizations. Funding support for “Hoosiers Voices NOW” has been provided by Indiana Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities to the Friends of the Indiana State Archives.
