SynopsisThe Confederacy's lynchpin in the Shenandoah Valley, Winchester was the most disputed town of the Civil War. As control shifted between North and South over seventy-five times, civilians coped with skirmishes in the streets, wracking disease and makeshift hospitals in their homes and churches. Out of this turmoil emerged heroes such as "Angel of the Battlefield" Tillie Russell, doctor turned soldier John Henry S. Funk and courageous mother and nurse Cornelia McDonald. Historian Jerry W. Holsworth uses diaries and letters to reveal an intimate portrait of this war torn community the celebrated Stonewall Brigade and the many occupations, as well as the indomitable women who inspired legend., The Confederacy's lynchpin in the Shenandoah Valley, Winchester was the most disputed town of the Civil War.

Author did a great job providing historical context of a community constantly moving between Confederate and Union occupation. Women’s perspective.
Great historical account of a community moving between the CSA and Union forces over seventy times- the divisions in the community, the impact of multiple battles, managing the wounded from both sides. Written with input from women’s diaries, ages 15 to 60 plus years old- unique perspectives and tales of endurance.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
