Although modern authors continually produce important studies of the War Between the States; the firsthand accounts of those who were in the conflict remain the most valuable tools for understanding. This collection of letters and diaries provides glimpses into the lives of a diverse group of South Carolinians. Among the seventeen accounts are the voices of women; including a Confederate spy; of officers like Captain Obidiah Hardin; who left his beloved Palmetto State to fight and die in Virginia before the war was even a year old; and of common men; like German immigrant Augustus Franks; whose love for his adopted state compelled him to staunchly defend the Confederacy. Collected from the archives of Winthrop University; these remarkable documents give voices and faces to the war as it affected South Carolina and her citizens.
