Most Civil War books focus only on its male participants, but award-winning Southern historian Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook covers both genders. Having written extensively on the masculine side of the conflict, his positive, uplifting, inspiring, and educational book on Confederate females, unique in American literature, examines the feminine view of the War.
Entitled Women in Gray: A Tribute to the Ladies Who Supported the Southern Confederacy, this pictorial tour de force will evoke the gamut of human emotion, from laughter and tears to awe and outrage, as the reader pours over some 600 photos and illustrations of Victorian Confederate women, most from the South, but many from the North and West as well. Along with this visual feast - which aids in preserving our country's wonderful Confederate history - are included female-oriented reminiscences, stories, speeches, reports, poems, and obituaries regarding the Great War and the Southern Confederacy, covering the period from 1860 to 1918. Read in their own words the experiences, feelings, and views of the women who lived through both the War and Reconstruction, as well as those of their daughters and granddaughters, and discover the suppressed facts about Lincoln's War, the Confederacy, and the Union for yourself.
Women in Gray is perfect for Civil War museum stores and gift shops, historic homes, or any tourist hot spot connected to the War or American history. Makes a great personal gift as well. For the serious Civil War buff, historian, and scholar the book includes endnotes, a bibliography, and an index. This one-of-a-kind book is available in paperback and hardcover.

Описание: An incredible heroine of the Confederacy There are several accounts told through the ages, and concerning several conflicts, of women who went to war for the cause they espoused and who not only performed extraordinary feats of daring and bravery, but acted disguised and undetected in the roles of men. The history of the American Civil War offers several examples where the women concerned came from both sides of the conflict and all are incredible. Several of these dauntless Amazons have left posterity riveting accounts of their experiences, but among them all this book, written by the Cuban born Loreta Janeta Velazquez, is widely regarded not only as an extraordinary narrative among those where all are extraordinary, but also as an account of a woman's wartime experiences that has virtually no equal in history. This was an exceptional woman by any standards and her story will inform, astonish and entertain. Indeed, it has long been the subject of disputed veracity in its entirety, but modern historians have confirmed much of its authenticity. If it does contain a few 'tall stories' it will not be exceptional among memoirs irrespective of the gender of the author. Loreta enlisted for the South in 1861 as a regular soldier and, of course, as a man, under the name of Lieutenant Harry Buford. She fought at First Bull Run, Balls Bluff, Fort Donelson and at Shiloh. This remarkable woman then gave up uniform to travel behind the Union lines, there working as a spy, gathering intelligence and undertaking other dangerous and subversive activities on behalf of the Confederacy. This is an indispensable book for all those interested in outstanding women of action. Available in softcover and hardcover with dustjacket.

Описание: "Unspools like a buddy flick...Carlson`s story has so many twists, right up to the last page...But the exquisite plot is only one of the joys of reading this book...If there`s a flaw in this fine book, it`s that Carlson tells his story almost too well...[This is] a rollicking read."- Tony Horwitz, Washington Post
