Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of reminiscences and anecdotes from the life of Eunice Tripler, wife of Dr. Charles Stuart Tripler, Surgeon General of the US Army during the Civil War. As the wife of an army Ofcer, she lived in various locations across the country, providing her with a unique perspective on American society and politics from the 1820s through to the early 1900s. Her stories encompass the Washington, DC of her childhood, where she witnessed debates in Congress and knew President Jackson and other major gures of the day, to the underdeveloped Detroit of her early married life, and the military outposts on the frontier during the Indian Wars. She provides both a record of the day-to-day realities of life for women in the 19th century and a snapshot of the major events and characters that shaped the nation during her lifetime. The book's account of her own experiences and those around her provide a valuable historical context for understanding the social and political development of the United States.
