Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Women of the Debatable Land To the Southern Women of the Sixties: The survivors of the Confederate Armies are on their last march, their faces are turned to the setting sun, and each step that they take is down hill. As one of the veterans who followed Lee and Jackson, I esteem it a proud privilege to voice through this book the sentiments of my comrades in paying a tribute to the women of the South during the Civil War. We admired those women for their devotion to the cause for which we fought. We honored them for their ceaseless effort to feed the hungry and clothe the naked. We idealized them as being the highest type of womanhood that had been evolved since the dawn of time, and we loved them as uncrowned queens. How many of us, when raving with the fever in the dim wards of the hospitals, or wan, pallid, near bloodless, blessed them for their tender care and gentle ministrations. How many, how very many, died with a light in their eyes, a prayer in their hearts, a benediction on their lips for the women of the "Sixties." And To the United Daughters of the Confederacy: Those noble women who have given their time, their labor and their money to honor the men who fought for their freedom; those who have aided the indigent and infirm, and have labored to preserve the truth of history, whose strenuous work has been crowned with success, and who have made the South "The Land of Song and Story."
