Review
The story is told with vividness, appreciation, and a wealth of incident and human detail. (Journal of the American Military Institute)
Two widely accepted beliefs of Southern history go down under the weight of Lonn's array of evidence in this competent monograph: that few foreign born were domiciled in the South before the Civil War, and that the Confederate armed forces, unlike those of the North, received little help from men of alien birth. (American Historical Review)
Lonn has made a valuable contribution to the realistic study of the Confederacy in giving us such a comprehensive treatment of this foreign element and its part in the Southern war effort. (William and Mary Quarterly)
No one, whether professional historian or layman, can claim to be an authority on the Confederacy without perusing Foreigners in the Confederacy. (Journal of Southern History)
