Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a memoir about the Civil War era written by a Southern woman who lived during the conflict. From the intro: " THIS history was told over the tea-cups. One winter, in the South, I had for my neighbor a gentle, little brown-haired lady, who spent many evenings at my fireside, as I at hers, where with bits of needlework in our hands we gossiped away as women will. I discovered in her an unconscious heroine, and her Civil War experiences made ever an interesting topic. Wishing to share with others the reminiscences she gave me, I seek to present them here in her own words. Just as they stand, they are, I believe, unique, possessing at once the charm of romance and the veracity of history. They supply a graphic, if artless, picture of the social life of one of the most interesting and dramatic periods of our national existence. The stories were not related in strict chronological sequence, but I have endeavored to arrange them in that way. Otherwise, I have made as few changes as possible. Out of deference to the wishes of living persons, her own and her husband's real names have been suppressed and others substituted; in the case of a few of their close personal friends, and of some whose names would not be of special historical value, the same plan has been followed. Those who read this book are admitted to the sacred councils of close friends, and I am sure they will turn with reverent fingers these pages of a sweet and pure woman's life - a life on which, since those fireside talks of ours, the Death-Angel has set his seal. Memoirs and journals written not because of their historical or political significance, but because they are to the writer the natural expression of what life has meant to him in the moment of living, have a value entirely apart from literary quality. They bring us close to the human soul - the human soul in undress. We find ourselves without preface or apology in personal, intimate relation with whatever makes the yesterday, to-day, to-morrow of the writer. When this current of events and conditions is impelled and directed by a vital and formative period in the history of a nation, we have only to follow its course to see what history can never show us, and what fiction can unfold to us only in part - how the people thought, felt, and lived who were not making history, or did not know that they were. This is the essential value of A Virginia Girl in the Civil War: it shows us simply, sincerely, and unconsciously what life meant to an American woman during the vital and formative period of American history. That this American woman was also a Virginian with all a Virginian's love for Virginia and loyalty to the South, gives to her record of those days that are still "the very fiber of us" a fidelity rarely found in studies of local color. Meanwhile, her grateful affection for the Union soldiers, officers and men, who served and shielded her, should lift this story to a place beyond the pale of sectional prejudice."

Download or read book Confederate Women of Arkansas in the Civil War written by The United Confederate Veterans and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the Union soldiers who experienced the wrath of Southern women during the American Civil War came away feeling that fighting the Southern men was a more appealing proposition. General William Tecumseh Sherman said, “You women are the toughest set I ever knew. The men would have given up long ago but for you. I believe you would keep this war up for thirty years." The great value of the present volume is that it was not written for an audience outside the unreconstructed south. Even after forty years, the embers of bitterness and defense of the "Lost Cause" echo in these uncensored pages. Yet it's not all vitriol and horror. Included are stories of great humor and a remembrance of Ulysses S. Grant's kindness to a wounded rebel son. These are the women who lived through the pain and suffering of the Civil War in the South, some privileged and some...just folks. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Download or read book A Virginia Girl in the Civil War Expanded Annotated written by Myrta Lockett Avary and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She and her biographer were both real-life Scarlett O'Haras. Born to privilege and wealth in antebellum Virginia, she married at seventeen and then was plunged into the events of the American Civil War. Myrta Lockett Avary was her biographer and though Avary does not give up her friend's identity, the story captured the imagination of the world when first published in 1903. Avary also wrote "Dixie After the War," which may have been the inspiration for Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With the Wind." She was also the original editor of "A Diary from Dixie as written by Mary Boykin Chestnut," featured very prominently in Ken Burns' documentary, The Civil War. A write for major periodicals during her day, Myrta Avary was a successful and well-known writer. We're fortunate that she chronicled the world that was left behind in the wake of the Civil War. "The narrative is one that both interests and charms. The beginning of the end of the long and desperate struggle is unusually well told, and now the survivors lived during the last days of the fading Confederacy forms a vivid picture of those distressful times.”—Baltimore Herald. “The style of the narrative is attractively informal and chatty. Its pathos is that of simplicity. It throws upon a cruel period of our national career a side-light, bringing out tender and softening interests too little visible in the pages of formal history.”—New York World. “This is a tale that will appeal to every Southern man and woman, and can not fail to be of interest to every reader. It is-as fresh and vivacious, even in dealing with dark days, as the young soul that underwent the hardships of a most cruel war."—Louisville Courier-Journal. “Taken at this time, when the years have buried all resentment, dulled all sorrows, and brought new generations to the scenes, a work of this kind can not fail of value just as it can not fail in interest. Official history moves with two great strides to permit of the smaller, more intimate events; fiction lacks the realistic, powerful appeal of actuality; such works as this must be depended upon to fill in the unoccupied interstices, to show us just what were the lives of those who were in this conflict or who lived in the midst of it without being able actively to participate in it. And of this type 'A Virginia Girl in the Civil War ' is a truly admirable example.”—Philadelphia Record.

Download or read book The Women of the South in War Times Classic Reprint written by Matthew Page Andrews and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Women of the South in War Times As a contribution to American history, the following pages depict the life of the Southern people within the lines of the Confederacy during the four years of its storm-tossed existence. The greater part of the material is given in the words of those who were a part of the times in which they lived; but for the benefit of others who would now, or in days to come, have a clearer understanding of local happenings, editorial notes are added. These notes bear upon related events of larger historical import, and it should be stated that it is now being more and more generally recognized that the true history of any land or its leaders cannot properly be presented without entering into the life of the people that make the one and create the other. Too much of the experience of any individual or any group of individuals is apt to weary the reader; similarly, a series of disconnected incidents becomes both tiresome and confusing.
