About this book

In Just South of Gettysburg: Carroll County, Maryland in the Civil War, Frederic Shriver Klein opens a window onto a vital yet often overlooked corner of the American conflict. While the thunder of Gettysburg echoed only miles away, the people of Carroll County lived on the uneasy border between North and South — a community divided by conscience, kinship, and geography. Drawing from letters, diaries, and local archives, Klein reconstructs how farmers, merchants, and townsfolk navigated shifting loyalties as Union and Confederate armies marched through their fields and crossroads.

The book captures the pulse of wartime Maryland — the fear of raids, the excitement of troop movements, the moral dilemmas faced by families torn between sides. Klein's storytelling blends scholarly precision with the empathy of a native historian deeply attuned to the region's voice. He depicts the county as a microcosm of the nation's struggle: a place where emancipation met resistance, patriotism coexisted with weariness, and survival demanded both courage and compromise.

Richly detailed and beautifully written, Just South of Gettysburg offers not only a gripping regional history but also a broader meditation on identity and endurance during America's most testing years. It is indispensable reading for Civil War enthusiasts and anyone intrigued by how great events play out in ordinary lives just beyond the famous battle lines.
