Country Women Cope with Hard Times: A Collection of Oral Histories Book

Sarah Morgan was a young woman when the Civil War broke out. This is her actual diary from Jan. of 1862 to June 1865. She details her sentiments about the politics of the era, her hatred of Yankees and loyalty to the Confederacy. She relates her sadness at the loss of family members to the war and other means. She and her mother and other family members flee their home due to the war. She is from Louisiana and is a well educated, well bred young woman. If you like Civil War history and would like to hear it from her perspective, you will enjoy this book. I did get distracted during parts of it but overall, it was a great book to help you understand the mindset and behavior of the Southern woman during the late 1800's.
