Jim Schmidt is a Civil War expert -- who has a real job as a chemist in a biotech company in Houston, TX. For the past fifteen years or so Jim has been consumed with the Civil War -- writing article after article, and a couple of books on this subject before his publishing of
"Notre Dame and the Civil War."
Here's what Jim learned, from his research for this book, about Notre Dame and the Civil War:
"While many institutions of higher education made great sacrifices during the Civil War, few can boast of the dedication and effort made by the University of Notre Dame. For four years, Notre Dame gave freely of its faculty and students as soldiers, sent its Holy Cross priests to the camps and battlefields as chaplains and dispatched its sisters to the hospitals as nurses.
Though far from the battlefields, the war was ever-present on campus, as Notre Dame witnessed fisticuffs among the student body, provided a home to the children of a famous general, responded to political harassment and tried to keep at least some of its community from the fray.
At war's end, a proud Notre Dame welcomed back several bona fide war heroes and became home to a unique veterans' organization."
This looks like a book Notre Dame fans will love! Here's a link to where you can buy
