Publisher's Synopsis
A Woman's Wartime Journal is a historical account written by Dolly Sumner Lunt, detailing her experiences during the American Civil War. The book is specifically focused on the passage of General William T. Sherman's army over a Georgia plantation, which Lunt and her family owned and lived on. The journal entries cover the period from November 1864 to January 1865, during which time Sherman's army marched from Atlanta to Savannah, Georgia, on their infamous ""March to the Sea."" Lunt's account provides a unique perspective on the war, as she writes from the point of view of a Southern woman who witnessed firsthand the devastation wrought by the Union army. She describes the destruction of her home and property, the hardships endured by her family and neighbors, and the chaos and violence that accompanied the army's passage. Despite the difficult circumstances, Lunt's writing is marked by her resilience and determination to survive. The book was first published in 1918, and remains a valuable resource for historians and anyone interested in the history of the American Civil War.As Recorded In The Diary Of Dolly Sumner Lunt.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
