Book Synopsis Confederate Daughters by : Victoria E. Ott
Download or read book Confederate Daughters written by Victoria E. Ott and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2008-02-22 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confederate Daughters: Coming of Age during the Civil War explores gender, age, and Confederate identity by examining the lives of teenage daughters of Southern slaveholding, secessionist families. These young women clung tenaciously to the gender ideals that upheld marriage and motherhood as the fulfillment of female duty and to the racial order of the slaveholding South, an institution that defined their status and afforded them material privileges. Author Victoria E. Ott discusses how the loyalty of young Southern women to the fledgling nation, born out of a conservative movement to preserve the status quo, brought them into new areas of work, new types of civic activism, and new rituals of courtship during the Civil War. Social norms for daughters of the elite, their preparation for their roles as Southern women, and their material and emotional connections to the slaveholding class changed drastically during the Civil War. When differences between the North and South proved irreconcilable, Southern daughters demonstrated extraordinary agency in seeking to protect their futures as wives, mothers, and slaveholders. From a position of young womanhood and privilege, they threw their support behind the movement to create a Confederate identity, which was in turn shaped by their participation in the secession movement and the war effort. Their political engagement is evident from their knowledge of military battles, and was expressed through their clothing, social activities, relationships with peers, and interactions with Union soldiers. Confederate Daughters also reveals how these young women, in an effort to sustain their families throughout the war, adjusted to new domestic duties, confronting the loss of slaves and other financial hardships by seeking paid work outside their homes. Drawing on their personal and published recollections of the war, slavery, and the Old South, Ott argues that young women created a unique female identity different from that of older Southern women, the Confederate bellehood. This transformative female identity was an important aspect of the Lost Cause mythology—the version of the conflict that focused on Southern nationalism—and bridged the cultural gap between the antebellum and postbellum periods. Augmented by twelve illustrations, this book offers a generational understanding of the transitional nature of wartime and its effects on women’s self-perceptions. Confederate Daughters identifies the experiences of these teenage daughters as making a significant contribution to the new woman in the New South.
Download or read book The Vanity Case written by Carolyn Wells and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-11-22 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a mystery novel that revolves around the murder of Myra, Perry Heath's wife. Myra had always had money, and recently, because of an uncle's death, had inherited a lot more. No one ever caught a sign of a jarring note between husband and wife, yet no one ever saw a sign of affection. They had two house guests for a bridge party at their place; Lawrence Inman, Myra's distant cousin, and Bunny Moore. On the night of the party, Heath's marital problems come to a head when Myra asks Bunny to leave her husband alone. However, Perry also accuses her of flirting with Larry, her cousin. But she denies this saying Larry is her cousin and heir. Myra is discovered dead on the studio floor the next morning, having been struck by one of her antique bottles and Perry goes missing. To add to the mystery, Myra, a non-cosmetics user, is discovered quite painted and decorated, with the vanity box containing the cosmetics missing. Emily Prentiss couldn't sleep and noticed lights in the night while watching the Heath home out her window when the murder occurred. Todhunter Buck, her nephew, decides to solve the crime on his own and teams up with Alexander Cunningham, who has been appointed by the Country Club and is also curious about where their member Heath has gone. Police Detective Mott questions people without success, so Buck calls in an old friend, private detective Steve Truitt.
Book Synopsis Sanctified Trial by : Eliza Rhea Anderson Fain
Download or read book Sanctified Trial written by Eliza Rhea Anderson Fain and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This diary is distinctive for its account of increasing clashes with Unionist "bushwhackers" and for its graphic description of the atrocities on both sides. The Civil War surged around Rogersville, near the Fain farm, with alternating occupation by both North and South. When her farm was looted in 1865, Fain attempted to defend her family and home from depredations by both Yankee troops and guerrillas." "The entries from the period of Reconstruction reveal Fain's concerns about perceived threats from poor whites and freed slaves. Overall, however, this busy mother focuses throughout on the private life of her family, and her writings tell us much about the challenges of everyday life almost a century and a half ago."--Jacket.

Book Synopsis Children and Youth During the Civil War Era by : James Marten
Download or read book Children and Youth During the Civil War Era written by James Marten and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil War is a much plumbed area of scholarship, so much so that at times it seems there is no further work to be done in the field. However, the experience of children and youth during that tumultuous time remains a relatively unexplored facet of the conflict. Children and Youth during the Civil War Era seeks a deeper investigation into the historical record by and giving voice and context to their struggles and victories during this critical period in American history. Prominent historians and rising scholars explore issues important to both the Civil War era and to the history of children and youth, including the experience of orphans, drummer boys, and young soldiers on the front lines, and even the impact of the war on the games children played in this collection. Each essay places the history of children and youth in the context of the sectional conflict, while in turn shedding new light on the sectional conflict by viewing it through the lens of children and youth. A much needed, multi-faceted historical account, Children and Youth during the Civil War Era touches on some of the most important historiographical issues with which historians of children and youth and of the Civil War home front have grappled over the last few years.

Book Synopsis Romance Fiction and American Culture by : William A. Gleason
Download or read book Romance Fiction and American Culture written by William A. Gleason and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1970s, romance novels have surpassed all other genres in terms of popularity in the United States, accounting for half of all mass market paperbacks sold and driving the digital publishing revolution. Romance Fiction and American Culture brings together scholars from the humanities, social sciences, and publishing to explore American romance fiction from the late eighteenth to the early twenty-first century. Essays on interracial, inspirational, and LGBTQ romance attend to the diversity of the genre, while new areas of inquiry are suggested in contextual and interdisciplinary examinations of romance authorship, readership, and publishing history, of pleasure and respectability in African American romance fiction, and of the dynamic tension between the genre and second wave feminism. As it situates romance fiction among other instances of American love culture, from Civil War diaries to Bob Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks, Romance Fiction and American Culture confirms the complexity and enduring importance of this most contested of genres.
Book Synopsis The Confederate Heartland by : Bradley R. Clampitt
Download or read book The Confederate Heartland written by Bradley R. Clampitt and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2011-12-12 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bradley Clampitt's The Confederate Heartland examines morale in the Civil War's western theater -- the region that witnessed the most consistent Union success and Confederate failure and the battle ground where many historians contend that the war was won and lost. Clampitt's sweeping vision of the Confederate heartland and assessment of morale, nationalism, and Confederate identity with a western emphasis, fashions a more balanced historical landscape for Civil War studies.
Book Synopsis To the Battles of Franklin and Nashville and Beyond by : Benjamin Franklin Cooling
Download or read book To the Battles of Franklin and Nashville and Beyond written by Benjamin Franklin Cooling and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2011-07-20 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 1864 neither the Union’s survival nor the South’s independence was any more apparent than at the beginning of the war. The grand strategies of both sides were still evolving, and Tennessee and Kentucky were often at the cusp of that work. The author examines the heartland conflict in all its aspects: the Confederate cavalry raids and Union counter-offensives; the harsh and punitive Reconstruction policies that were met with banditry and brutal guerrilla actions; the disparate political, economic, and socio-cultural upheavals; the ever-growing war weariness of the divided populations; and the climactic battles of Franklin and Nashville that ended the Confederacy’s hopes in the Western Theater.
