Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long out of print, this volume of recollections, stories, and verse provides a glimpse of women's lives on the home front-and sometimes in the thick of battle-during the War between the States. Nearly fifty years after the American Civil War, Lucy Worth London Anderson (Mrs. John Huske Anderson) of Fayetteville, N.C., compiled one of the first memorial collections honoring the contributions of women to the cause. Her book North Carolina Women of the Confederacy assembled biographies, anecdotes, letters, reminiscences, and poems concerning Southern women's experience during the war. This early historical text is once again available in a new edition featuring a clean and corrected setting of the type, historical introduction and annotations, and a valuable index of personal and place names. Scholars, geneaologists, and casual readers alike will appreciate the reintroduction of this Southern classic, prepared under the auspices of the UDC Cape Fear Chapter #3. Lucy London Anderson served as North Carolina historian of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in the 1920s. She first published this record of episodes in the history of the Confederate women of her state in 1926.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Addresses at the Unveiling of the Memorial to the North Carolina Women of the Confederacy: Presented to the State by the Late Ashley Horne From time to time since the erection of the monument to the North Carolina soldiers of the Confederacy, in 1895, various plans have been suggested looking to the erection of a similar memorial to the North Carolina Women of the Confederacy. In 1911 Gen. Julian S. Carr, a representative from Durham County, introduced in the House of Representatives a bill providing for the appropriation of a sum sufficient for the erection of such a memorial. The bill, however, failed to be enacted into law. The fate of this bill was a keen disappointment to the thousands of Confederate soldiers of North Carolina who, better than any others, appreciated the services, the sacrifices, and the heroism of the women of the Confederacy. To none was the disappointment keener than to the late Ashley Home, then a representative in the General Assembly from Johnston County. Ashley Home was one of six sons whom his mother gave to the Confederacy, three of whom did not return. He himself was a mere boy of twenty when he volunteered in 1861. He saw four years of arduous service in Eastern North Carolina and under Lee in the Army of Northern Virginia. He was first assigned to Company C, 50th North Carolina Regiment, but was afterwards transferred to the Fifty-third Regiment, of which his older brother, Sam, was lieutenant, in the Daniel-Grimes Brigade, Rode's Division. After Appomattox, as orderly sergeant, he was sent to bear to General Johnston at Greensboro and General Sherman, near Durham's Station, the official news of Lee's surrender. At the close of his four years of service he returned to his home in Johnston County, where, by hard labor, self sacrifices, and sterling integrity, he accumulated a handsome fortune. His own mother was a typical "North Carolina woman of the Confederacy," and it was through her that he learned to appreciate the heroic qualities of those whom he called "our greatest soldiers from '61 to '65." Bitterly disappointed at the refusal of the General Assembly to erect a suitable memorial to the Women of the Confederacy, he determined to do so himself.

Download or read book South Carolina Women in the Confederacy Classic Reprint written by United Daughters of the Confed Division and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from South Carolina Women in the Confederacy In the not distant future, let us hope that some foreign historian, reading this record of facts, and touched by the witchery of the theme, may, like Botta, tell another continent, in another tongue, how the descendants of those Carolina women of the Revolution, in the third and fourth generation, presented an example of fortitude more than manly. But he will have to add that, while the heroines of the first Revolution lived to exult with their surviving sons and brothers in a victory glorious and complete, the South Carolina Women of the Confederacy saw their cause go down in gloom and defeat; that cause which, throughout all the horrors of the Recon struction era, they regarded and still hold in boundless love and reverence and regret. The purpose of this book is to record, in part, the work of South Carolina women during the War for Southern Independence, not only in making banners, binding her warriors' sash, and those offices which the cold-blooded materialist classes as sentimental; but woman as a potent factor in furnishing food and clothing for the men on the battle line, and for the wounded and dying in the hospital.

This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from South Carolina Women in the Confederacy, Vol. 2 When history was written only to tell of changes in government and the body politic, it could well be described in the sneering terms of a writer as little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind. But, now that the people as well as their rulers are brought forward by our writers, it is seen that the field of history includes the Home and the Family, as well as the realm, the sovereign, and the subject. With mention of the homes of a people, come sentiments of the heart and deep tides of feeling. And, if as has been well said: The most valuable acquisition from history the enthusiasm it excites, then the record of' private experiences in the home, during the affairs and convulsions of the State, must be depended on for a faithful picture of memorable times, and must be rated as really indispensable to the full purpose of historic literature.

Download or read book South Carolina Women in the Confederacy Annotated written by Daughters of the Confederacy and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a hidden treasure of American Civil War history. If you buy it only for the section titled "A Confederate Girl's Diary," you'll find it worth the price of admission.Yet the collection is so much richer than that. Included are excerpts from the famous diary of Mary Chesnut, close friend of Mrs. Jefferson Davis and much quoted in Ken Burns' great Civil War documentary.The first sections of the book include fascinating details about services women gave to the southern war effort:"A jar of pickles, a contribution of $.50 cents, shirts, wine, and $5.00 from a Jew, who desired me so to acknowledge."The latter half of the book is composed of short memoirs, "A Confederate Girl s Diary" being one of the most entertaining. While the girl is dismissive of all the talk that Sherman will soon be upon them, she continues taking vocal lessons and finishes a new book..."Les Miserables.""A Southern Household During the Years 1860 to 1865" tells what it was like to run a household during war.Coming from the Daughters of the Confederacy, it should not be surprising that this work is by largely unreconstructed Rebel women, but it is fascinating and an important contribution to Civil War literature.

Download or read book Journal of a Secesh Lady written by Catherine Ann Devereux Edmondston and published by North Carolina Division of Archives & History. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The diary of Catherine Ann Devereux Edmondston presents a unique portrait of Civil War North Carolina. Wife of a prominent planter and slaveholder in Halifax County, North Carolina, Mrs. Edmondston spent most of the war on the family plantations Hascosea and Looking Glass. Occasionally she made trips with her husband Patrick to Richmond, Virginia, and to various eastern North Carolina towns. Despite this relative isolation and insulation Kate Edmondston's imagination and inquisitive mind allowed her to observe and follow closely the progress of the war. An avid reader of newspapers, particularly those from the Confederate capital Richmond, she commented extensively on the war and recorded in minute detail the strategies and maneuverings of the Confederate and Union armies, casualties among North Carolina troops, and the weaknesses and strengths of various leaders, North and South, local and sectional. She also fancied herself a poet and wrote odes to various fallen heroes and to the southern war effort. One of her poems even found its way into print in a South Carolina newspaper. Clearly she was influenced by poets and novelists of the Romantic period, for her diary abound with allusions to many pieces of classical literature and the Bible. A diehard "secesh lady," in her own words, she was uncompromisingly prosouthern in her loyalties and intensely bitter toward Unionists, Abraham Lincoln, and northern generals like Benjamin Butler and William Sherman. Inept Confederates and southern leaders she considered undeserving political lackeys did not escape her vitriolic pen, however. The diary reveals a rich mosaic of family, class, and sectional connections. It provides in addition an unusually intimate glimpse of plantation life and the social consequences of war as the conflict crept closer and as a miasma of fear and uncertainty enveloped eastern North Carolina. Mrs. Edmondston's distinct and finely etched class views of nonslaveholding whites, slaves, and freedmen and her perception of the role of women in southern society undergird the entire journal. An intriguing social document in itself, the diary depicts with profound clarity the shattering impact of the war on southern women in particular, whose circumscribed lives were suddenly exposed to the ravages of war and poverty. Characterized by new insights into the Civil War experience on the southern home front, and filled with copious data for historians and genealogists, the Edmondston diary will appeal to many readers as simply a gripping tale of southern life during the conflict. As such, it rivals some of the best-known accounts of the Civil War, including the diary of Mary Boykin Chesnut.
