The Civil War as seen through the diaries of a brother and
sister-one who had to fight it, and one who had to stay home and
live it. Volume 1 - Sarah Fowler Morgan A Confederate Girl's Diary
Volume 2 - James Morris Morgan Recollections of a Rebel Reefer
James Morgan was a 15 year old midshipman on the USS Constitution
at the start of the Civil War, and a friend of many future heros on
both sides. The war, however, forced a choice, and he chose to join
the new Confederate Navy. From then until the conclusion of the
war, he experienced the full gamut of the Civil War at sea. As with
others who served in that great conflict, however, his story did
not end at Appomattox. After the war, as a farmer in South
Carolina, he experienced firsthand the "horrible orgy of crime
called the 'carpetbag government.'" He later served as a captain in
the Egyptian Army, a civil engineer in Mexico, and a consul-general
to Australia. He shared courtesies with such men as Jefferson
Davis, Robert E. Lee, Grover Cleveland, and Ulysses S. Grant.
During a long and rich life, whether enduring privation, injury,
loss, or disappointment-or enjoying the pleasures of friendship,
and adventure-James Morgan was in every respect a true gentleman of
the Old South. This is his story; and it provides a remarkable
insight into both the Civil War and it's aftermath. Read it, and
the story of his equally remarkable sister, in: MORGAN'S WAR "One
of the most riveting Civil War reads you will ever have-made all
the more compelling by the fact that every bit of it actually
happened."
