 Enlightening and entertainingNov 09, 2010
By museumgirl
This book denies many of the popular myths and beliefs about the Civil War south, and is a fascinating and exciting story of life during the war. I recommend this to any serious student of ante-bellum history, as well as to any one studying women's history. It was well written, well edited and thoroughly entertaining.

Enjoyed reading this bookJan 24, 2012

This book was referred to me from an online friend, and I was so glad she did. I am researching handwoven cloth from the civil war era. This book was filled with pages of information of day to day life needs and how the people met this challenge, (from sugar making, spinning, dyeing, weaving cloth, salt, and so much more) during the time the author was living in a state that was blockaded during the civil war. So much information was thrown at me while reading, I just couldn't read it fast enough. I loved it too that the author wrote from her own experiences. A must read for anyone interested in reading about how families made their necessities during this time in our history.

 review of blockaded familyJul 27, 2008
By Charles W. Harrison

This book is a quick read. It was written by a lady so a lot of time was spent discussing how they made clothing. It did provide insight as to how a family and community work together to survive difficult times. It is well worth reading.
