Being a competent, well-conceived overview of the Badger State during the Civil War. The first half of the book is particularly interesting; toward the end the author allows himself to get sucked into the morass of unit histories, which are perhaps of more interest to Wisconsonians and researchers than the general reader.

I do not for one single instant doubt either the erudition or the scholarship of the late Dr. Klement, famous (if you know who he is) for his refutation of the existence of an organized Fifth Column of Confederate sympathizers in the North. I do wish he'd been thwacked a few times with the Lash of the Muse of Writing instead of JUST the Muse of History.

This is one dry, dusty, dull read. If you're really, really, really interested in the Civil War, dabble around. If you're a casual reader, purse your lips knowingly and murmur, "aaah yes, the Copperheads, never came to much did they?" and your social obligation to the Civil War nut will be forever discharged.

NOT recommended for civilian reading, historiographers only.
