Publisher's Synopsis
Over the past twenty years, historians have worked diligently to explore Florida's role in the Civil War. Works describing the state's women and its wartime economy have contributed to this effort, yet until recently the story of Florida's soldiers in the Confederate armies has been little studied. This explores the story of schoolmates going to war and of families left behind, of a people fighting to maintain a society built on slavery and of a state torn by political and regional strife.
