 A Diary From Dixie by Mary Boykin Chesnut. $16.58, softcover/1.25 in PDF Mary Boykin Chesnut is one of our most important voices from the Confederacy. Without her we would know far less of the inner lives of the inmost circles of the Confederate Government. She gives us not just a glimpse into the lives of men like Jefferson Davis, but also what the war was like for women from a woman's vantage point. Well worth reading.  Diary of a Tar Heel Confederate $9.46 soft cover/1.25 in PDF. This short volume, kept by Louis Leon during the War Between the States, tells in concise but poignant terms what it was like for the "man behind the gun," as he puts it. It tells of his adventures in two different regiments from North Carolina and as a prisoner of war in New York. But there is something even more unique here: Mr. Leon was a Jew. He openly served his country while General Grant was deporting Jews "as a class" from Union occupied territories. A doubly unique perspective.  NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. DUE TO A FILE UPLOAD SNAFFU ON OUR PART THIS TITLE IS UNREADABLE IN ITS PRESENT STATE. WE HOPE TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED WITHIN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. WE ARE DEEPLY SORRY FOR THIS MISTAKE! Three Months In The Southern States by Lt. Col. Sir Arthur C. Freemantle. $22.13, hardcover/1.25 in PDF. Lt. Col. Arthur Freemantle decided to take a rather unusual 'holiday' from the Coldstream Guards: he toured the War Between the States while it was in full swing from April through July, 1863. He finds passage into Brownsville, Texas and works his way across the South becoming an informal ambassador of Her Majesty's Government until he parted ways with his Southron hosts at Gettysburg and returned home via New York. He records for us the many faces, famous and not; characters, rough-hewn and fine polished, and way and means of the Southland. He lets us know the details of day-to-day life and social activities found throughout the South. A travel diary like no other.  Travels $26.95 Hardcover/ 1.25 in PDF. The title says: it all! This book describes the travels of the author through what we now know as the Old South of the United States. He traveled through this area in the late colonial period and made extensive descriptions of the geography, geology, topography, hydrology the people and their manners and customs and beliefs, the animal and vegetable life he encountered during this very long journey. Whether you love old books, travel, bio- or geo-science, social studies or whether you are looking for a multi-disciplinary work for home school curricula, this is an excellent book for your consideration.  The Heart of a Soldier by George and La Salle Pickett. $13.10 softcover/1.25 in PDF ...As Floweree's band, playing "Dixie," was passing a vine-bowered home, a young girl rushed out on the porch and waved a United States flag. Then, either fearing that it might be taken from her or finding it too large and unwieldy, she fastened it around her as an apron, and taking hold of it on each side and waving it in defiance, called out with all the strength of her girlish voice and all the courage of her brave young heart: "Traitors—traitors—traitors, come and take this flag, the man of you who dares!" Knowing that many of my men were from a section of the country which had been within the enemy's lines, and fearing lest some might forget their manhood, I took off my hat and bowed to her, saluted her flag and then turned, facing the men who felt and saw my unspoken order. And don't you know that they were all Virginians and didn't forget it, and that almost every man lifted his cap and cheered the little maiden who, though she kept on waving her flag, ceased calling us traitors, till letting it drop in front of her she cried out: "Oh, I wish I wish I had a rebel flag; I'd wave that, too." The picture of that little girl in the vine-covered porch, beneath the purple morning glories with their closed lips and bowed heads waiting and saving their prettiness and bloom for the coming morn—of course, I thought of you, my darling. This book is a very telling and revealing look into the heart and mind of this great General of the CSA, compiled by his wife La Salle from his letters home to her during and after the War Between the States. An unique perspective with a diary-like quality, yet in a dialogue-like form.  The Diary of Anita Dwyer Withers: 1860-1865 $12.72 in softcover/1.25 in PDF This diary, written by a devout Roman Catholic and wife of a Southron soldier describes the events of the War Between the States in short little notes about the events of day to day life and the news and rumors of the times. It contains none of the flowing narrative of a memoir, but it does give us a glimpse into a life lived by faith in God and hope for a glorious new country.  The Civil War Diaries of Sarah Morgan $15.58 in softcover/1.25in PDF This Diary from the War Between the States starts in March, 1862 and ends in June, 1865. Born to a famous judge, she grew up knowing wealth and privilege. Then, in 1862, the Yankee Invaders ransacked her family home in Baton Rouge. From then on, she developed a life long hatred of Yankees. This is the story of how that came to be. |
