Sinossi
A Quaker Colonel, His Fiancée, and Their Connections: Selected Civil War Correspondence offers a Northern counterpart to the great collection of Southern family letters published in The Children of Pride. Featuring recently discovered historical material, the book offers a selection of correspondence written by two Pennsylvanians, and their family and friends, between 1861 and 1865. The chief letter writers, Charles Lamborn and Emma Taylor, came from well-connected families in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Their correspondence covers the early years of their courtship until their marriage, a period when Charlie was at the warfront. Charlie’s correspondence presents information about his military experiences, providing little known details of the early campaigns of the Army of the Potomac and of the fighting for Chattanooga and Atlanta. Emma’s letters describe life on the home front, illuminating how the war affected her household, town, and wider circle of family and friends in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New York. Both Charles Lamborn and Emma Taylor embraced abolitionism and the war’s aim of emancipation. They believed that the pain they suffered during those years purified their love as it also purified the nation. In this volume, Dr. Smith has carefully transcribed, edited, and annotated the Lamborn-Taylor letters, providing important contextual information about both the larger developments in the war and the more localized sphere of Charlie’s and Emma’s lives.

Hardback. Condizione: New. A Quaker Colonel, His Fiancée, and Their Connections contains letters written during the American Civil War between a Union officer, his fiancée, and some of their connections. It opens a big window onto the lives of élite Northern women on the homefront during the Civil War. The pain of their separation from-and loss of-loved ones and friends at the front, their adaptation to unaccustomed work and acquisition of new skills, their labors for the soldiers at the front and in hospitals, their political involvement, not to mention elder- and childcare and illnesses, their almost morbid anxieties and indomitable wills, are revealed in these documents. Also, the experiences of their menfolk in the army are opened to view. The reader follows them into training camp and the Pennsylvania Reserves, into action for the salvation of Maryland for the Union, in the Army of the Potomac in its vicissitudes. Moreover, the principal male correspondent left the Army of the Potomac after the Battle of Fredericksburg, and became lieutenant colonel of a regiment of Pennsylvania Cavalry in Tennessee, seeing action in that state, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. Evidence of the military-political-industrial complex that won the war is present throughout, as is evidence bearing on abolitionism and African-Americans. Codice articolo LU-9781611463446
