Letters from soldiers to their families often provide prominent
narratives of the Civil War. But what about the messages from the
women who maintained homes and farmsteads alone, all while
providing significant emotional support to their loved ones at the
front? The letters and diaries of these eight women echo the
ever-growing horrors of the conflict and reveal the stories of the
Wisconsin home front. Twenty-one-year-old Emily Quiner sought a way
to join the war effort that would feed her heart and mind. Annie
Cox wrote to her pro-slavery fiancE to staunchly defend her
abolitionist principles. Sisters Susan Brown and Ann Waldo faced
the unexpected devastation that each battle brought to families. In
Such Anxious Hours, Jo Ann Daly Carr places this material in
historical context, detailing what was happening simultaneously in
the nation, state, and local communities. Civil War history
enthusiasts will appreciate these enlightening perspectives that
demonstrate the variety of experiences in the Midwest during the
bloody conflict.
