Two personal diaries of southern women during the Civil War, first published long after the war. Beers’ first-hand account of the Civil War from the perspective of a Confederate woman. According to the Preface: For several years my friends among Confederate soldiers have been urging me to ‘write up’ and publish what I know of the war. By personal solicitation and by letter this subject has been brought before me and placed in the light of a duty which I owe to posterity. Taking this view of it, I willingly comply, glad that I am permitted to stand among the many ‘witnesses’ who shall establish ‘the truth, ‘ proud to write myself as one who faithfully served the defenders of the Cause which had and has my heart’s devotion.’ Plus Dawson’s war-time diary of a young girl, first published in 1913.
