Richmond During the War: Four Years of Personal Observation (Collector's Library of the Civil War)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Putnam describes the excitement of secession giving way to sacrifice and grim determination, the women of Richmond aiding the war effort, the funerals and hasty weddings, the reduced circumstances of even the “best†families, and the despicable profiteering. Asserting that “every woman was to some extent a politician,†she offers keen analyses of military engagements, criticizes political decisions, and provides accounts of the Richmond Bread Riot of 1863 and the inauguration of Jefferson Davis that have been praised by historians. The war brought the battlefield into the house, forcing women into unaccustomed roles and forever changing the old social order.
