The men would have given up long ago but for you. I believe you would keep this war up for thirty years.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet unlike many collections penned for the Daughters of the Confederacy, this book has a conciliatory tone. Yes, it includes accounts of suffering and bitterness. But the preface states the authors \"do not desire to keep alive sectional bitterness or revive memories which have lain dormant for half a century.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat they did intend was to record the sacrifices and efforts made by women of the south during the war. One of the most moving sections of the book is at the end. It is a first-hand recounting of the gathering on the field of Gettysburg of the veterans of both sides, fifty years after the battle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBe sure to LOOK INSIDE by clicking the cover above or download a sample.","brand":"Big Byte Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073297891568,"sku":"2940150431966","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150431966_p0.jpg?v=1764006270","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150431966","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
