Welcome to Maine at War: Battlefields, Monuments & More! I am Brian Swartz, a Civil War historian and author living in central Maine. Via Maine at War: Battlefields, Monuments & More we will visit the battlefields where Mainers fought; check out the Maine monuments located here, there, and everywhere; and visit war-related sites in Maine, New England, and elsewhere.
I write the weekly Maine at War blog (found at maineatwar.bdnblogs.com) that shares stories about Mainers and their involvement in the Civil War, from soldiers and sailors to politicians and homefront civilians. Maine at War also delves deeply into background issues affecting the Pine Tree State.
I have also written two Maine-related Civil War books. Maine at War, Volume 1: Blandensburg to Sharpsburg (available at Amazon.com) and Passing Through the Fire: Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain in the Civil War (available at www.savasbeatie.com).
