A captivating history of the Civil War in northeast Florida

"Captures in rich detail the competition between the Confederates and Unionists, blacks and whites, and civilians and soldiers in the region. A fascinating and illuminating story told through compelling and persuasive prose."--Aaron Sheehan-Dean, author of Why Confederates Fought

"A fast-paced social history of the Civil War in northeastern Florida."--John David Smith, editor of Black Soldiers in Blue

When the Civil War finally came to North Florida, it did so with an intermittent fury that destroyed much of Jacksonville and scattered its residents. The city was taken four separate times by Federal forces but abandoned after each of the first three occupations. During the fourth occupation, it was used as a staging ground for the ill-fated Union invasion of the Florida interior, which ended in the bloody Battle of Olustee in February 1864. This late Confederate victory, along with the deadly use of underwater mines against the U.S. Navy along the St. Johns, nearly succeeded in ending the fourth Union occupation of Jacksonville.

Writing in clear, engaging prose, Daniel Schafer sheds light on this oft-forgotten theatre of war and details the dynamic racial and cultural factors that led to Florida's engagement on behalf of the South. He investigates how fears about the black population increased and held sway over whites, seeking out the true motives behind both the state and federal initiatives that drove freed blacks from the cities back to the plantations even before the war's end.

From the Missouri Compromise to Reconstruction, Thunder on the River offers the history of a city and a region precariously situated as a major center of commerce on the brink of frontier Florida. Historians and Civil War aficionados alike will not want to miss this important addition to the literature.

Fit well and stay up
Size: Large, Color: (299) City Khaki / City Khaki / White
They're a little thin, so good mainly for warmer months. But they fit very well and I've not experienced any slippage

Low quality socks.
Size: Large, Color: (001) Black / Black / Castlerock
I have been buying Under Armour undergarments for years and have noticed a steady decline in quality. These socks are no different. I purchased another six packs of very similar styled Under Armour socks in 2023 and recently they have started wearing out. Those socks are no longer available for reorder, but these extremely similar socks were so I ordered them. The quality difference is obvious just by looking at and feeling them. They are more of a faded black/brown than the black pictured or the black that the three year old socks still are. The material is completely different and feels lighter. When wearing them they already feel like they are bunching up in my shoes, which the old ones never did. I do not expect these to last even a year and will not buy them again.
