Spectacle of Grief: Public Funerals and Memory in the Civil War Era

Spectacle of Grief: Public Funerals and Memory in the Civil War Era (UNC Press, 2022) examines how the public funerals of major figures from the Civil War era shaped public memories of the war and allowed a diverse set of people to contribute to changing American national identities. As Sarah J. Purcell reveals, Americans� participation in these funeral rites led to contemplation and contestation over the political and social meanings of the war and the roles played by the honored dead.

Marshall Poe �84 talked to George Drake, historian, professor emeritus, and president emeritus of ���ϰٿ�. George has written a memoir: Seventy Years in Academe. George brought a wealth of experience to the interview. They talked about a lot of things: why he elected to go to ���ϰٿ�, his experience as a Rhodes Scholar, how he got his first academic job, how he became president of ���ϰٿ�, the challenges he faced as president, and his rich life after he stepped down as president in 1991.
