Frock Coat And Flag: Union Soldier Markers In Central Maine, Kimberly Sawtelle
Kimberly J. Sawtelle
The Frock Coat and Flag motif of gravestone is a short-lived memorial theme borne from a compressed period of American history. The horrors, tragedy, and impact of the U.S. Civil War on American civilians and a lack of a comprehensive plan by the U.S. Congress to provide means or methods to bury and mark the graves of soldiers who died in service contributed to the manifestation of a portrait-style grave marker used by families in a relatively compact geographic region of central Maine between 1861 and 1864.

Leandro Benmergui
The Multimedia Companion for the special issue of Urban History: 'Transnational Urbanism in the Americas', is an editorial project of Urban History’s North American Editorial Board. The emerging transnational paradigm raises many interesting possibilities for the historical study of cities. As the articles in the special issue suggest, transnationalism challenges us to map out the patterns of human life in new ways as they cross and construct cities, nations, and other crucial formations. Even as this new paradigm is causing a fundamental rethinking of our scholarship, the internet and the World Wide Web are also challenging our current modes of …
