Description
Southern women tell how they survived the desperate last days of the Confederacy in the Civil War. Entries from over 50 diaries of southern women, and slave women. As starvation stalked the land, they hid food and heirlooms in wells and swamps. They outwitted Yankee soldiers. They watched cities burn and fed hungry children. Slaves and plantation mistresses tell their stories. Forgotten Civil War recipes: oatmeal pie, "idiot's delight cake", hardtack, etc. Authentic photos. Bravery in the face of humiliation, terror, and grief.
