Download or read book Life in Dixie During the War written by Mary A. H. Gay. This book was released on 2013-02-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the writing about the Civil War is focused on the military strategies and the personalities of those involved. Too little attention has been given to the civilian noncombatants and to the hardship they endured during the conflict. In 1894, the author compiled her letters and diaries from the war for this book. Her stories, as seen from her home in central Georgia, reflect how the events leading up to the fall of the Southern Confederacy, the burning of Atlanta, and the economic destruction of the Southern way of life affected her, her family, and her friends. This reprint has been completely reformatted in a larger, re-typed format for the modern reader.
