Hearts of Fire-- Soldier Women of the Civil War: With an Addendum on Female Reenactors, Volym 1L. Middleton, 1993 - 280 sidor Disguised as men, hundreds - perhaps thousands - of women from North & South went off to join in the Civil War. Although it includes other items of general human interest, this book contains the largest collection of soldier women accounts in print - an important reference to Civil War history & women's studies. History provides only sparing recognition for a handful of these soldier women, (even a CW FEMALE MEDAL OF HONOR recipient) but records show that women were on the battlefields & in greater numbers than one might suppose. This book brings these dauntless women into historical light. Sometimes amusing, these accounts will shed new insight on this war & touch the hearts of all who read them. |
