Editorial : "For 50 years, the ‘go to' monograph for an overview of agriculture during the U.S. Civil War has been Agriculture and the Civil War, by Paul W. Gates. That distinction passes now to this book by Hurt, which incorporates recent scholarship, primary source research, and extensive use of contemporary publications that targeted agrarian readers. While the primary arrangement of Gates's work is geographic, Hurt approaches the topic chronologically. His 10 chapters address from Union, Confederate, and border state perspectives, the war's impact on agriculture, and how the ability to produce, process, and transport food, fiber, and livestock affected the conduct and outcome of the war. Essential for all libraries." - Choice
