"This collection of letters and diaries provides glimpses into the lives of a diverse group of South Carolinians who participated in the War Between the States." "Among these seventeen accounts are the voices of Emily Harris, who struggled to manage the family farm in her husband's absence; Captain Obadiah Hardin, who fought and died in Virginia before the war was even one year old; Augustus Franks, a German immigrant who took up arms for his adopted Southern home; and more.". "Collected from the archives of Winthrop University, these remarkable documents give voices and faces to the War."--BOOK JACKET.
