Susan Cooke Soderberg, American historian, writer. Named Citizen of the Year, Germantown Citizens Association, 1995. This is a book for Civil war students, people interested in Maryland and in architectural history, and social historians. The monuments discussed in the text are all in Maryland and erected by Maryland groups or individuals, the state of Maryland, or the Federal government. The book is both a guidebook and a historical reference work. It is divided into five tours that cover Civil War monuments in different areas of the state with maps showing each tour. Detailed directions are given for each monument on the tours, as well as for the gravesites and minor monuments. Monuments are today's tellers of the stories of the Civil War. Its veterans, widows, and descendants erected them to help us remember and understand that terrible war. Lest We Forget explains the stories behind the monuments, and shows how they can help us better understand the legacy of the War and answer the questions raised by viewers of these monuments.
