如果认为这是您的责任：明尼苏达一对夫妇的民事战争信件

English | ISBN: 0873516001 | 2008 | EPUB | 346 pages | 3 MB

During the American Civil War, James Madison Bowler and Elizabeth Caleff Bowler courted, married, became parents, and bought a farm. They attended dances, talked politics, and confided their deepest fears. Because of the war, however, they experienced all of these events separately, sharing them through hundreds of letters from 1861 to 1865 while Madison served in the third Minnesota Volunteer regiment and Lizzie stayed in Nininger, Minnesota. In four years, they spent only twelve weeks under the same roof. These poignant letters provided them a space to voice their fear for and frustration with each other, and they now provide readers with a window into one couple's Civil War.

"Go If You Think It Your Duty isn't the Civil War history of textbooks or lecture halls. It's the kind we seldom see—the kind tucked away in forgotten, dusty packets of letters in forgotten trunks in attic corners. The letters here are less about the war than about the hopes and concerns of a man who fought it and his wife waiting back home." —The Associated Press

在美国内战期间，詹姆斯·麦迪逊·鲍勒和伊丽莎白·凯莱夫·鲍勒相互爱慕、结婚并有了孩子，他们还买了一块农地。他们参加舞会、讨论政治，并分享了最深层的恐惧。然而，由于战争的原因，他们分别经历了所有这些事情，在1861年至1865年间通过大约数百封信来沟通，当时麦迪逊在第三明尼苏达志愿团服役，而伊丽莎白则留在明尼阿波利斯附近的诺丁汉。四年内，他们只在一起住了十二周。这些感伤的信件为他们提供了一个表达彼此恐惧和沮丧的空间，现在它们也为读者打开了一扇了解一对夫妇在内战中的生活状况的窗户。

“《去如果认为这是你的职责》不是课本或讲坛上的美国内战史。它是我们很少看到的那种——那些藏在遗忘、尘封信件盒里的、夹在阁楼角落里的一类。”——美联社
