One
of the lesser known facts of the Civil War is that a large number
of women particpated either directly or indirectly in a large number
of roles - heroines who acted as nurses, spies, supply stations,
way stations of hope for sick soldiers and much more.
This
collection of books on CD - 6 books spanning 1,000s of pages - details
the lives of many brave women of the Civil war and makes for fascinating
reading.
