Steven Sodergren, The Army of the Potomac in the Overland and Petersburg Campaigns: Union Soldiers and Trench Warfare, 1864-1865


$10 regular price | FREE for most museum members*


The final year of the Civil War witnessed a profound transformation in the practice of modern warfare, a shift that produced unprecedented consequences for the soldiers fighting on the front lines. In The Army of the Potomac in the Overland and Petersburg Campaigns, 2018 Colby Award winner Steven E. Sodergren examines the transition to trench warfare, the lengthy campaigns of attrition that resulted, and how these seemingly grim new realities affected the mindset and morale of Union soldiers.

STEVEN SODERGREN earned a BA in history and philosophy from Cornell College followed by an MA and PhD in American and military history from the University of Kansas. Since 2007, Sodergren has taught in the History and Political Science department at Norwich University and was promoted to Associate Professor of History in 2013. He currently holds the position of Coordinator of the Studies in War and Peace degree program. As the resident Civil War scholar at Norwich, he routinely teaches courses on that subject in addition to a variety of courses on American and military history.
