Along with the daily material from the civil war that I am publishing, I am also “collecting” other material, such as magazine stories and articles, from the war years that doesn’t fit well in the daily publication format. I am publishing literary pieces eparately from the daily blog and linking them under Literary Works, available on the menu bar above.
The newest addition is from the June 1864 Edition of Harper’s New Monthly Magazine:
Why I wrote it — (1864) by Louisa W. Barker, a young woman’s story of growing up in the South, going to school and living in the North when the war began, returning South, marriage, loss of her rebel husband, returning North and struggles of a single mother in a new place.
