Romaneck draws on memoirs and other contemporary writing as well as later historical accounts, to explore such aspects of the 1860-64 war as disease, light artillery, Stonewall Jackson's maxims for a worthy life, the experience of a nurse, commonly used Civil War language, prostitution, Abraham Lincoln's depression, and a slave woman's perspective. He has also written a guide for Civil War reenactment.
