- Summary:
- Ellen McGowan Biddle was the wife of James Biddle, a U.S. Army officer who saw wide service on the frontier. "Reminiscences of a Soldier's Wife" is a collection of her articulate, astute observations about life in the Army. From Macon, Georgia, to Fort Robinson, Nebraska, Ellen McGowan Biddle followed her husband throughout his career. Throughout her "reminiscences" she relates not only the day-to-day events of her life as an Army wife, but also the excitement, uncertainty, and sacrifice of life on the frontier.
