The clash of armies in the American Civil War left hundreds of thousands of men dead, wounded, or permanently damaged. Skirmishes and battles could result in casualty numbers as low as one or two and as high as 10s of thousands. The carnage of the battlefield left a lasting impression on those who experienced or viewed it, but in most cases the armies quickly moved on to meet again at another time and place. When the dust settled and the living armies moved on, what happened to the dead left behind?
Unlike battle narratives, The Aftermath of Battle The Burial of the Civil War Dead picks up the story as the battle ends.
The burial of the dead was an overwhelming experience for the armies or communities forced to clean up after the destruction of battle. In the short-term action, bodies were hastily buried to avoid the stench and the horrific health concerns of massive death; in the long-term, families struggled to reclaim loved ones and properly reenter them in established cemeteries.
Visitors to a battlefield often wonder what happened to the dead once the battle was over. In this easy-to-listen overview that will complement any Civil War library, author Meg Groeling provides a look at the aftermath of battle and the process of burying the Civil War dead.
The Aftermath of Battle is part of the Emerging Civil War Series offering compelling, easy-to-listen overviews of some of the Civil War's most important stories.

"This book covers so much more the just the dead. It covers what happened to the wound, the towns people near the battles and families far away at home. Groeling covers many aspics of what people did not want to know about wars, the true aftermath. Many of the people who after the battle and the war stepped up to find and count the dead and help look for the missing. This is a short book but has lots of good info about the national parks and other place to visit. This book is very good as a teaching tool for young readers and others who wants to know more the just battles and leaders."

- To my surprise, I found this book fascinating. It's not written like the usual historical books I read and that's probably, now that I think of it, why I liked it so much. The topics were interesting and it was well written. Going to get another one in this series...again...much to my surprise!
- This book is well written and informative. A good read for the history buff or Civil War reader.

- Not as interesting as I thought it would be.
- Interesting topic. But too many factual errors and misstatements call the book into question. Not sure I would purchase any more in this series.
