Mary Todd Lincoln: A Biography
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:

This book is a complete biography of Mary Todd Lincoln starting out with her grandparents which surprised me. This book is not an overview of Mary's life it is very detailed. I think it is a fair account of her life and there are some things I never would have guessed. I must admit I haven't... more info

They Fought Like Demons: Women Soldiers in the Civil War
from Vintage
Price: $11.96

Customer Review:

This book was a hard read. I just couldn't wait to be done with it. The book would bring up women numerous times in different chapters but never clearly told any woman's story at once. All I really walked away with was "There were women fighting in the Civil War." Exactly the same thing I learned... more info

The tales of women in the slaveholding south are told in Faust's Mothers of Invention. The insecurities, fears and hopes of the southern women are brought to light and the book gives a behind the scenes look at the Civil War.

Mary's World: Love, War, and Family Ties in Nineteenth-century Charleston
from Corinthian Books
Price: $29.95

Customer Review:

Mary's World helped me to understand life in the Antebellum South and the culture that thrived on slavery. But it also showed the North's response to winning the Civil War, which was anything but forgiving. It was a thrill to see the Miles Brewton House and the St. Michael's Cemetary on my recent... more info

Like Mary Boykin Chesnut, Kate Stone wrote her diary during the Civil War.
