Description

Two ladies in the struggle for Southern independence This unique Leonaur edition brings together two personal accounts of the American Civil War as it was experienced by Confederate ladies. This was a war notable for the willingness of American women to become directly involved in the conflict-including, on some notable occasions, actually dressing in military uniforms and joining the men on the battlefield. Women spies on either side were not uncommon and the famous-or notorious, depending upon the loyalties of the arbiter-female Confederate spy Belle Boyd, who proved to be invaluable as a source of intelligence for General 'Stonewall' Jackson, makes an appearance in these pages. It was characteristic of many women to rise above the expected position of 'they also serve who stand and wait.' In these accounts readers will learn how two women waged their own war. Here are accounts of hospitals for the wounded, a notable attempt at blockade running, capture by Union troops, daring rescue, open battle and romance-even the famous cavalry commander Jeb Stuart makes an appearance in these pages. This is an excellent two-in-one volume for all those interested in the activities of redoubtable Southern women in a time of conflict. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.
