My Contribution To The War And A Woman’s Sacrifice
A reflective account of a New England man’s five hundred dollar war subscription contrasted with a widow’s heroic sacrifice. The narrator recalls how public duty feels trivial beside the widowed mother who loses her husband in battle while mustering courage to feed and clothe her children. He confronts pride, pride’s danger, and the call to support those left behind, especially widows and orphans, in a time of national crisis.
