Overview

Celebrate the women who played a pivotal role in the American Civil War. Women of the Civil War gives a detailed, contemporary look at the women who fought, served, aided, mended, and supported the efforts of both the Union Army and the Confederacy. In many cases they followed their brothers and husbands to the field of battle and into enemy prisons; some ventured to the edge of the fight to rescue the wounded or comfort the dying. They came from all walks of life and exhibited persistence, endurance, faith, and compassion. Initially written by Frank Moore in 1866, this spectacular book sheds light on many of the forgotten heroes of the Civil War. Presented in this enlarged special edition format, Women of the Civil War authentically reproduces the original, classic type font with digitally scanned engravings from the source. Thousands of women labored in the field and city hospitals, and on the hospital boats where the most severely wounded men were received. They penetrated the lines of the enemy on dangerous missions and organized great charities. They pushed American sanitary enterprises and served as angels of mercy in situations untold.
