A few folks have asked me to post the Table of Contents to Scars to Prove It: The Civil War Soldier and American Fiction. Here are the contents, with the chapter titles conveying something about what can be found in each section. I have also listed the relevant page numbers, to give one a sense of how the book is divided:

I’ve asked Alderman to order it, in case they haven’t already. Looking forward to putting a Warren footnote in at least one of my diss chapters!

Thanks, Melissa and Camille, for ordering books for your libraries!
Camille: I’m glad the TOC was helpful. I think it offers a pretty clear picture of what readers will find in each chapter.
