Just as soon as the railroads could be repaired and bridges builded anew, I made haste to get to my father's again to find how all had gone with them while our foes were marching through Georgia. I had tried for three months or more to get a letter or message of some sort to them, as they had to me, but all communication for the time being was completely broken up. I had spent many sad hours thinking of those at home, and was almost afraid to hear from them; but as soon as a train ran to Columbus, I ventured forth. I had traveled over the same road time and again, on my way to and from home, but now as I beheld the ruins of grim-visaged war, whichever way I cast my eyes, I must confess to a somewhat rebellious and bitter feeling. There are moments in the experience of every human being when the heart overflows like the great Egyptian river, and cannot be restrained. "O thou great God of Israel!" I cried, "why hast thou permitted this dire calamity to befall us? Why is it that our homes are so despoiled?" And I marveled not at the captive Hebrews' mournful plaint, as by the rivers of Babylon they hung their harps on the willows. As the train slowed up on the Alabama side of the Chattahoochee River, I looked eagerly over to the opposite bank, where the home of my father was situated. For a few seconds my pulse must have ceased to throb, as I beheld the ruins of the city of Columbus. With others I took my seat in an omnibus and was driven to the river's edge, there to await the coming of the ferry-boat which had been built since all the bridges on the river had been burned by the hostile army. The scene seemed so unreal that like Abou Hassan, the caliph of fiction, I was thinking of biting my fingers to make sure I was really awake....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Giving in an easy, kindly, sympathetic style the every-day life in Southern Alabama during the dark days of Civil War." -Current Opinion Parthenio Antoinette Vardaman Hague (1838 - 1914) author, was born at Dowdels Mill, Harris County, Georgia. She finished her education in Harris County, Ga. at Hamilton female college. After graduation from Hamilton Female college, she lived in Hurtville, AL about11 miles from Eufaula, AL in Barbour County where she was a teacher on aplantation. She lived in Alabama in the 1860s. In 1888, she published a book, A BLOCKADEDFAMILY. The book was endorsed personally by Jefferson Davis and Gen. Beauregard and is a book of great interest, describing the expedients resorted to by the people of blockaded districts to procure the necessities of life. The book presents a picture of life in Southern Alabama during the civil war, the contrasting colors of which are distributed very skillfully. The patience and the heroism displayed by the women of the South during four years of conflict, especially when we take into consideration the luxury which they had formerly enjoyed, has often been acknowledged; and the book in question gives details of their daily life, of their privations, and yet of their occasional pleasures, the reading of which is sure to interest. The tone in which the story is told also commends itself. There is not a word of reproach in it, and not a note of harshness or vindictiveness sounded. So Wide and varied is the field to be yet harvested for crops of information about the home life of Southern people in the War, that we are glad to take up Miss Hague's 'A Blockaded Family.' It will be found to be a record of interest, while unpretending as a piece of literary work. Miss Hague was a governess of Southern birth and sympathy, living in the houseliold of an Alabama planter during the four years that threw women as much upon their own resources to secure the necessaries of daily life, as did the residence of the Swiss Family Robinson upon their desert isle. The author's task has been to detail the innumerable devices of herself and friends to supply cloth, shoes, hats, thread, dyes, hoop-skirts, buttons; to find substitutes for coffee, tea, raisins, starch and medicines. The castor-oil plant, growing abundantly near their house, was cultivated, and, from the beans crushed in mortars, an oil was obtained as satisfactory as any bought from the ante-bellum apothecary. Salt, in the regions remote from the seacoast and the border States, was a luxury. In some case's the salty soil under old smoke-houses was dug up and put into hoppers, from which, by a homely process of evaporation, a grey deposit was obtained, serving as salt for want of something better. Home-made pottery replaced breakages in the pantry. All of the ladies learned to card and spin and weave. So universal was the necessity for things of everyday, that while every hand and brain was lent to the task of contriving, there was less time to spend in lamentation over the increasing burden of a common care. We recommend Miss Hague's book as an interesting, and evidently unexaggerated, account of a momentous time in the history of our country.

Download or read book Navy Gray written by Maxine T. Turner and published by Mercer University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the Confederate Navy been told less often than the spectacular history of the armies, but many of the familiar elements are there: the exuberant hopes of the Confederacy, the risk in spite of very long odds against success, the basic deficits in resources becoming desperate needs, and the dogged, exhausted persistence in the face of certain defeat. The story is epic in its importance to a nation and a people. New strategies and developing technology, however, introduce new elements into this story of the Civil War. The officers and men of the Confederate Navy were defeated at every turn by a national policy and a local tangle of political, economic, and social issues. Southern officers resigned their Union Navy commissions to fight for principle -- and soon found themselves enmeshed in construction schedules and bureaucratic delays. All too often, naval officers on both sides found themselves engaged in what is now termed "modern warfare". In this story of the Civil War, the phrase "arms and the man" begins to take on the contemporary ring of man and machine and man within and against the system.

Download or read book Rich Man's War written by David Williams and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Rich Man's War historian David Williams focuses on the Civil War experience of people in the Chattahoochee River Valley of Georgia and Alabama to illustrate how the exploitation of enslaved blacks and poor whites by a planter oligarchy generated overwhelming class conflict across the South, eventually leading to Confederate defeat. This conflict was so clearly highlighted by the perception that the Civil War was "a rich man's war and a poor man's fight" that growing numbers of oppressed whites and blacks openly rebelled against Confederate authority, undermining the fight for independence. After the war, however, the upper classes encouraged enmity between freedpeople and poor whites to prevent a class revolution. Trapped by racism and poverty, the poor remained in virtual economic slavery, still dominated by an almost unchanged planter elite. The publication of this book was supported by the Historic Chattahoochee Commission.
