The fourth book in the ""Virginia at War"" series, this title casts a special light on vital home front matters in Virginia during 1864.

Following a year in which only one major battle was foughton Virginia soil, 1864 brought military campaigning to the Old Dominion.

For the first time during the Civil War, the majority of Virginia's forces fought inside the state's borders.

Yet soldiers were a distinct minority among the Virginians affected by the war.

In ""Virginia at War, 1864"", scholars explore various aspects of the civilian experience in Virginia including transportation and communication, wartime literature, politics and the press, higher education, patriotic celebrations, and early efforts at reconstruction in Union-occupied Virginia.

The volume focuses on the effects of war on the civilian infrastructure as well as efforts to maintain the Confederacy.

As in previous volumes, the book concludes with an edited and annotated excerpt of the Judith Brockenbrough McGuire diary.
