Read this for a graduate history class, excellent read. I appreciate how the book explored little discussed ramifications of the Civil War, presented an intriguing topic of the War besides the basic military history.
This book is a great look at the role of pornography in Civil War camps. It shows that pornography played a complex role in camp life and then into life after the end of the war. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn about an unique aspect of life during the Civil War.
Enlightening and informative, a must read for any history buff wanting to learn about the unknown history of our nation.
This short book is an interesting read, but I think it falls a little short of a full discussion of the subject. It's an academic study, although quite readable. It looks at some aspects of sex in the Union army, but its main topic is really how laws meant to protect soldiers from suspect materials led to the rise of Anthony Comstock and his long reign as self-appointed czar of American purity.Giesberg says her book is interested in the Civil War origins of a "federal conversation" about sex and its regulation. The conversation came to included using the power of the post office to restrict access to information about birth control and abortion. The key chapter is #3, on Anthony Comstock's Civil War. Turns out his stories about being in combat were fake, his war being spent in an entirely calm occupation of Jacksonville, Florida.Reader's advisory: There are several illustrations that are inappropriate for children and that might be considered pornographic. People interested in that kind of material won't find much in this book, though.
Well conceived, researched & written!Judith Giesberg, Sex & the Civil War, Chapel Hill, NC; Univ. NC Press, 2017.20 images (some lewd). Notes. Bibliography. A short index.“Why, in the midst of war, did U.S. lawmakers settle on porn as a threat to men’s morals and their bodies, rather than, well, the war?†(p5) “This BOOK’S CENTRAL CLAIM is that paying attention to the Civil War origins of antipornography offers us 2 dividends. (1) By exploring soldiers’ expanded access to and interaction with obscene materials, we can begin to understand THE SEXUAL CULTURE OF THE CAMPS. … (2) Understanding THE LEGISLATIVE REACTION TO PORNOGRAPHY sheds light on how a virtuous, resurgent nation-state sought to assert its moral authority … through emancipation but then also by redefining human relations of the most intimate sort, including sex and [reproductive] rights.†(p6)War is a gendering activity that ritually marks all members of society. … “Men noted women’s flesh-and-blood presence in camp, because it reminded them of home, but doing so marked women as outsiders. … Yet, there are few women in the pages [of this book], and those that are here are mostly imaginary – represented in carte-de-visite (calling cards), adorning the backs of playing cards, awaiting our gaze at the end of a stereoscope [-- ‘an innovation featuring twin images of the same scene that when viewed … gives the illusion of 3-dimensionality or virtually being in the picture’ (p55),] or appear as crude sketches [on the pages of] erotic fiction.†(p8-9) There were also “Stanhope microphotographs – called ‘peeps’ – bead-sized images equipped with a magnifying [lens] mounted on rings, heads of walking sticks, opera glasses, and pistol handles allowing viewers to enjoy them discretely in public.†(p95)“The CHAPTERS ARE ORGANIZED CHRONOLOGICALLY.[CHAPTER 1 describes] the [expanding] antebellum production of [and access to erotic] pornography and the transatlantic attempts to control its circulation [in France, Great Britain and the U.S.] where the Civil War paved the way for the emergence, production and wide distribution of domestically produced porn.†(p9)“The vile book, photograph, and wood-cut were scattered by sutlers, mail agents, and others throughout the army. … The publishers of these works, … ‘human vampires,’ preyed on men far from home using as their [distribution] weapon of choice the U.S. Mail – the very same medium used by mothers, fathers, and wives to entreat men to be good.†(p26) “Pornography would never name the erotica held in ‘gentlemen’s collections’ but applied [it] instead [as] an argument against books, pictures, and other items intended for wide consumption.†(p26) [Hades, it’s social class prejudice.]“Pornography would also never name works written and published by the period’s antislavery luminaries†which employed sexual fantasies accompanied by pain†to emphasize their message. (p27) There was also sectional prejudice -- “the South was regularly compared to a brothel or harem, furthering the association between sex and violence.†(p28)“Begun in local prosecution and coming of age in the Civil War, American porn came to be associated with the experience of soldiering. … When the war began the domestic trade in porn was well-established and entrepreneurial publishers / dealers were posed to take advantage of the war’s particular circumstances and new technologies and mediums. “In the meantime, yellow-covered literature, obscene circulars, and racy magazines made their way with or to the soldiers and became part of the sexual culture of U.S. Army camps.†(p31-32)CHAPTER 2 considers wartime consumption of porn “and follows the mailbags delivered to the front lines, and through an examination of court-martial records and regimental order books locates erotic materials in camp, explores their circulation, and considers U.S. military policy with regard to erotica. … “This chapter includes a discussion of a wide variety of published works, including popular songs and magazines that were not produced with erotic intent but were reimagined and repurposed in the all-male milieu of the U.S. Army camp.†(p10)CAMP CULTURE. Soldiers did domestic duties once performed back home by women. They used and shared porn, played cards, shared very close quarters, etc. Voyeurism was practiced, especially when any woman – whether wife or prostitute -- was alone with an officer or another soldier. However, rape was prosecuted. Fellow soldiers assessed how well, you ‘fit’ their shared expectations for this masculine setting. If not, you were subjected to pranks and abuse, then further evaluated for how ‘you took it’ or ‘stood up’ for yourself.CHAPTER 3 reconstructs Private Anthony Comstock’s actual military experience using surviving fragments from his private diary and that of fellow CT townsman Justus Silliman, regimental orders, and his authorized biography. Comstock enlisted in local Company H of the 17th CT regiment being replenished after suffering 90% casualties, including his POW and MWIA older brother Samuel, on Barlow’s Knoll at Gettysburg in 1863. (p59) Anthony was posted to occupation duty on the SC sea islands, then to St. Augustine, FL during his 19 month service tour. But these wartime experiences recorded at the end of Comstock’s life by his authorized biographer were essentially A REIMAGINED’ HISTORY.“Obscenity was determined by community expectations and values, but in the mid 19th century ‘pornography’ emerged as a creature of the courts. … Something shifted in the balance between obscenity and decency, private and public, and porn emerged as a distinct governmental concern. … [Porn] was defined in courtrooms as something produced with the intention to corrupt ‘young minds’.†(p62-63)Aspiring to become a ‘gentleman’ officer and assigned as a clerk to the unit’s provost marshal, Private “Comstock refused to participate in the culture of the camp or join with them in sin and wickedness.†(p68) He refused to retaliate for the slights heaped upon him and his property, thereby fostering disrespect and further abuse. “Beyond controlling his temper, the young man also confided in his diary when he struggled to control his sexual urges.†(p69) “He experienced the war as a personal crisis in masculinity.†(p70) “In contrast, 2nd Lt. James Graham of the 8th Ohio Volunteers Regiment seized every opportunity for leisure and expressed no misgivings about how he or others spent it.†(p71)In 1883, “Comstock wrote Traps for the Young – an ambitious attempt to trace the routes of violence in young men to obscene reading materials.†(p78) He offered no explanation or proof of the connection between bad books and violent behavior.†(p79)CHAPTER 4 examines the 1865 and more expansive 1873 postwar anti-porn measures that became better known as the [1873] COMSTOCK LAW and particularly “how pornography, birth control, and abortion came to be associated in a cluster of laws reflecting post [Civil War] concerns about marriage and family.†(p10-11)Several U.S. Congressmen actually sought to assist the Union war effort while news from Sherman’s southern campaign was sporadic and Grant’s campaign appeared stalled at Petersburg, VA. Debate on the 13th Amendment and establishing the Freedman’s Bureau in February 1865 led to the Senate considering a formal definition of slave marriage as part of Senate Resolution 82. “Lawmakers defined ‘sufficient proof’ [of legal marriage] as evidence that [a man] and the woman claimed to be his wife have cohabitated together, or associated as husband and wife,†or “evidence that a form or ceremony marriage … has been entered into or celebrated by them. Married ‘slave’ women’s status was to ne determined by their husband’s status. (p82) This overturned southern states’ legal precedence for slave mothers’ children also being slaves. Consequently, the children of enlisted USCT soldiers and legally emancipated blacks would be freed.Among the duties taken up by agents of [the] new Freedman’s Bureau was an ambitious effort to regularize marriage practices among women and men.†(p83) “Many freedmen were forcibly ‘inducted into the regulatory regime of marriage’ by rigorous enforcement of local antibigamy and antifornication laws.†(p84)The YMCA and its military-focused offshoot the U.S. Christian Commission are actively seeking to save the souls of young American males from the evil temptations of pornography. Several U.S. Congressmen and state legislatures carefully scrutinize the mountainous morass of existing legislated law for finger and toeholds upon which to append new legislation defining and protecting morality. The new Federal and state laws explicitly defined what was pornography and its distribution channels. Porn was to be seized and destroyed. Also prohibited by NY law were perceived threats to the institution of marriage like any “article or medicine for the prevention of conception or procuring an abortion.†(p89) “Doctors took advantage of [the trend for definition] to target a range of unlicensed medical providers … including birth control and abortion services performed by midwives, homeopaths, and others. … Pornography came to be associated in lawmakers’ minds and in state laws with other perceived [societal] ills, such as prostitution, abortion, birth control,†Mormon polygamy practices, miscegenation, and incest. (p90-91) “Anthony Comstock first turned the attention of the YMCA … to the threat of sodomy, adding the performances and publications of NY’s gay community to the long list of obscenities he was authorized to combat.†(p102) “Laws against pornography and those outlawing abortion and contraception lingered well into the 20th century.†(p99)The dominant marketing, sales and distribution channels for erotic pornographic materials flow through the enlarged U.S. Mail system. The New York City region is its epicenter, primary international entry point into America; and site for domestic production. Meanwhile, Arnold Comstock has found the perfect job -- leading the moral crusade against pornography on the ground as Special Agent to the U.S. Post Office for that immoral NYC region.Giesberg concludes with a reflective EPILOGUE. “Neither the violence nor the porn was consistent with the middle class values of restraint or respectability.†(p102) By “paying attention to the ways in which our writing about war at times reproduces some of what concerns us about pornography is, it seems to [her], another kind of vigilance, one that we owe our readers, ‘young people’ and others.†(p104)SO WHY AREN’T YOU ACTUALLY READING THIS BOOK now that you have a sense of its scope & content ?- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -The COMMENTS that follow this review name a book containing two post-CW written chapters – a first person account by the bare, swimming Union officer mentioned in Giesberg’s book, and on the experience of occupying Jacksonville, FL to complement that of the 17 CT Volunteers. There are two other chapters on life in camp from an officer’s perspective.A second comment provides background information on the Brose lecture series at Penn State that served as the crucible for shaping her book and many others. This reviewer was present at Dr. Giesberg’s lectures.
