N2  - In his latest book, Kent Gramm examines the meaning of the Civil War                experience in our lives and explores philosophical and personal aspects of the War                that lie outside the scope of traditional historical study. He probes the meaning of                Gettysburg, the Wilderness, and Antietam; the lives of U. S. Grant, Robert E. Lee,                O. O. Howard, and Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce; and the legacy of the unknown                participant, "somebody's darling," for whom the war would come to                encompass all things. The Iron Brigade appears, along with its 20th-century                successor, the 32nd "Red Arrow" Division. Readers of Gramm's previous                books will not be surprised to find essays that touch on Walt Whitman, John Keats,                Henrik Ibsen, and Halldor Laxness, as well as such literary and religious works as                the Iliad and the Bhagavad Gita. Gramm also treats more popular fare, such as the                movie Gettysburg and a series of books on the ghosts of Gettysburg. In each of his                subjects, Gramm finds the deep, personal significance of the profoundly universal                experience of the war, as he ponders the special meaning of the Civil War in the                lives of many Americans
