Description

1867. From the Introduction: The histories of wars are records of the achievements of men, for essentially the most part: the chroniclers have needed to record that women, by their intrigues or their fatal gift of beauty, have been the reason for strifes innumerable; and it’s confessed that they have got inspired heroism and knightly deeds, but they’ve had small share in the real conflicts. It has been their portion to suffer in silence at home, and to mourn the dead. For them it has been to hear of sufferings which they may not alleviate, to grieve or rejoice over results to which they had contributed only sympathy and prayers. It has been different in our Conflict for the Union. Includes stories about: Mrs. Fanny Ricketts; Mrs. Mary A. Brady; Kady Brownell; Mrs. P.B. Hurd; Margaret E.
