Women of the Civil War South

This book presents excerpts from diaries and letters written by Southern women from different perspectives and areas of the country. Mary White, a fifteen-year-old girl, attempted to get through the blockade in Wilmington, North Carolina; Josie LeConte witnessed the burning of Columbia, South Carolina; Nancy Jones lived in fear amid the violence that rocked Mossouri and saw her family and close friends murdered and her young son taken prisoner by the Yankees; Sarah Dandridge Duval and her family were refugees near Richmond. The book includes reminiscences from Union and Confederate women living in Winchester, Virginia, a town that reportedly changed hands 76 times during the war.
