Description

This book casts a spotlight on some of the most overlooked, least understood participants in the American Civil War: the women of the North. Unlike their Confederate counterparts, most Northern women stayed far from the dangers of battle. Nonetheless, they enlisted in the Union cause on their home ground, and the experience transformed their lives.
