Fragmented Civil War Narrative and Reflections on Labor Life
An extended excerpt blends Civil War reminiscences with essays on labor and happiness. It includes a first person account of a secret railway to aid prisoners, a description of a female guide during a rebel pursuit, and a meditation on labor’s value, schooling, and domestic industry in colonial and early American life. It also references a new book about military service and a historical portrait of frontier homesteads and loom work.
