Two novels of true blue American heroines
The idea of the 'female warrior' in fiction once had great
commercial appeal and these two novels of the American Civil
War-which have been brought together for added value in this
Leonaur edition-are fine examples of the genre. The intrepid young
ladies of these stories are, in fact, fervent supporters of the
cause of the Union. Their tales of courage and daring-including the
concealing of the 'fair sex' in uniform, so that they can pass as
fighting soldiers-tell of bold exploits and great deeds of
audacious espionage behind enemy lines in the guise of loyal
Confederates. In reality there have been few wars where formidable
and determined women have failed to join the campaign and battle
line. The American Civil War was no exception and there are notable
examples of real life reflecting these exciting fictional exploits
on both sides of the conflict.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our
hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their
spines and fabric head and tail bands.
