It also includes seven letters, written earlier in the war, which are appended to her narrative. “A valuable story of a gentlewoman’s experiences under siege at Vicksburg.” —Civil War Books. Most revealing for the trials endured by the inhabitants of the besieged city. Told in her own words which “need no embellishment.” ISBN 0-916107-65-5 $30
