- Summary:
- "Historians have thoroughly documented the vast devastation of the Civil War. In the attention they have paid to aspects of that destruction, however, one of the most obvious ramifications appears routinely overlooked-Confederate widowhood. Jennifer Lynn Gross's Sisterhood of the Lost Cause helps rectify that historical omission by supplying a sweeping analysis of women whose husbands perished in the war"-- Provided by publisher.
