Worn Civil War Homefront Heroism and Far-Flung Possessions
Mary L Keont recounts a Union era tale of Mrs. Gayes and her son Charley at Fort Smith during the 1861 siege. Amid peril, Charley is wounded while a shelling raid nears their Virginia countryside, and Mrs. Gayes guides him to safety, tending his leg and singing to calm him. The narrative blends a family memoir with reflections on American gleaming possessions abroad and a moral call to women’s domestic and public influence.
