Book Description
Long out of print, this volume of recollections, stories, and verse provides a glimpse of women's lives on the home front-and sometimes in the thick of battle-during the War between the States. Nearly fifty years after the American Civil War, Lucy Worth London Anderson (Mrs. John Huske Anderson) of Fayetteville, N.C., compiled one of the first memorial collections honoring the contributions of women to the cause. Her book North Carolina Women of the Confederacy assembled biographies, anecdotes, letters, reminiscences, and poems concerning Southern women's experience during the war. This early historical text is once again available in a new edition featuring a clean and corrected setting of the type, historical introduction and annotations, and a valuable index of personal and place names. Scholars, geneaologists, and casual readers alike will appreciate the reintroduction of this Southern classic, prepared under the auspices of the UDC Cape Fear Chapter #3. Lucy London Anderson served as North Carolina historian of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in the 1920s. She first published this record of episodes in the history of the Confederate women of her state in 1926.

Book Description
Excerpt from Addresses at the Unveiling of the Memorial to the North Carolina Women of the Confederacy: Presented to the State by the Late Ashley Horne From time to time since the erection of the monument to the North Carolina soldiers of the Confederacy, in 1895, various plans have been suggested looking to the erection of a similar memorial to the North Carolina Women of the Confederacy. In 1911 Gen. Julian S. Carr, a representative from Durham County, introduced in the House of Representatives a bill providing for the appropriation of a sum sufficient for the erection of such a memorial. The bill, however, failed to be enacted into law. The fate of this bill was a keen disappointment to the thousands of Confederate soldiers of North Carolina who, better than any others, appreciated the services, the sacrifices, and the heroism of the women of the Confederacy. To none was the disappointment keener than to the late Ashley Home, then a representative in the General Assembly from Johnston County. Ashley Home was one of six sons whom his mother gave to the Confederacy, three of whom did not return. He himself was a mere boy of twenty when he volunteered in 1861. He saw four years of arduous service in Eastern North Carolina and under Lee in the Army of Northern Virginia. He was first assigned to Company C, 50th North Carolina Regiment, but was afterwards transferred to the Fifty-third Regiment, of which his older brother, Sam, was lieutenant, in the Daniel-Grimes Brigade, Rode's Division. After Appomattox, as orderly sergeant, he was sent to bear to General Johnston at Greensboro and General Sherman, near Durham's Station, the official news of Lee's surrender. At the close of his four years of service he returned to his home in Johnston County, where, by hard labor, self sacrifices, and sterling integrity, he accumulated a handsome fortune. His own mother was a typical "North Carolina woman of the Confederacy," and it was through her that he learned to appreciate the heroic qualities of those whom he called "our greatest soldiers from '61 to '65." Bitterly disappointed at the refusal of the General Assembly to erect a suitable memorial to the Women of the Confederacy, he determined to do so himself.

Book Description
Excerpt from South Carolina Women in the Confederacy In the not distant future, let us hope that some foreign historian, reading this record of facts, and touched by the witchery of the theme, may, like Botta, tell another continent, in another tongue, how the descendants of those Carolina women of the Revolution, in the third and fourth generation, presented an example of fortitude more than manly. But he will have to add that, while the heroines of the first Revolution lived to exult with their surviving sons and brothers in a victory glorious and complete, the South Carolina Women of the Confederacy saw their cause go down in gloom and defeat; that cause which, throughout all the horrors of the Recon struction era, they regarded and still hold in boundless love and reverence and regret. The purpose of this book is to record, in part, the work of South Carolina women during the War for Southern Independence, not only in making banners, binding her warriors' sash, and those offices which the cold-blooded materialist classes as sentimental; but woman as a potent factor in furnishing food and clothing for the men on the battle line, and for the wounded and dying in the hospital.

Book Description
Excerpt from South Carolina Women in the Confederacy, Vol. 2 When history was written only to tell of changes in government and the body politic, it could well be described in the sneering terms of a writer as little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind. But, now that the people as well as their rulers are brought forward by our writers, it is seen that the field of history includes the Home and the Family, as well as the realm, the sovereign, and the subject. With mention of the homes of a people, come sentiments of the heart and deep tides of feeling. And, if as has been well said: The most valuable acquisition from history the enthusiasm it excites, then the record of' private experiences in the home, during the affairs and convulsions of the State, must be depended on for a faithful picture of memorable times, and must be rated as really indispensable to the full purpose of historic literature.
