Paperback. Etat : New. In 1863, while living in Clarksville, Tennessee, Martha Ann Haskins, known to friends and family as Nannie, began a diary. The Diary of Nannie Haskins Williams: A Southern Woman's Story of Rebellion and Reconstruction, 1863-1890 provides valuable insights into the conditions in occupied Middle Tennessee. A young, elite Confederate sympathizer, Nannie was on the cusp of adulthood with the expectation of becoming a mistress in a slaveholding society. The war ended this prospect, and her life was forever changed. Though this is the first time the diaries have been published in full, they are well known among Civil War scholars, and a voice-over from the wartime diary was used repeatedly in Ken Burns's famous PBS program The Civil War.Sixteen-year-old Nannie had to come to terms with Union occupation very early in the war. Amid school assignments, young friendship, social events, worries about her marital prospects, and tension with her mother, Nannie's entries also mixed information about battles, neighbors wounded in combat, U.S. Colored troops, and lawlessness in the surrounding countryside. Providing rare detail about daily life in an occupied city, Nannie's diary poignantly recounts how she and those around her continued to fight long after the war was over-not in battles, but to maintain their lives in a war-torn community.Though numerous women's Civil War diaries exist, Nannie's is unique in that she also recounts her postwar life and the unexpected financial struggles she and her family experienced in the post-Reconstruction South. Nannie's diary may record only one woman's experience, but she represents a generation of young women born into a society based on slavery but who faced mature adulthood in an entirely new world of decreasing farm values, increasing industrialization, and young women entering the workforce. Civil War scholars and students alike will learn much from this firsthand account of coming-of-age during the Civil War.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - At the outbreak of the Civil War, Sarah Kennedy watched as her husband, D.N., left for Mississippi, leaving her alone to care for their six children and control their slaves in a large home in downtown Clarksville, Tennessee. D. N. Kennedy left to aid the Confederate Treasury Department. He had steadfastly supported secession and helped recruit local boys for the Confederate army. The Civil War Letters of Sarah Kennedy: Life under Occupation in the Upper South showcases the letters Sarah wrote to her husband during their time apart, offering readers an inside look at life on the home front during the Civil War through the eyes of a slave-owning, town-dwelling wife and mother.Featuring fifty-two of Sarah Kennedy's letters to her husband from August 16, 1862, to February 20, 1865, this important collection chronicles Sarah Kennedy's personal struggles during the Civil War years, from periods of illness to lack of consistent contact with her husband and everything in between. Her love and devotion to her family is apparent in each letter, contrasting deeply with her resentment and harsh treatment toward her enslaved people as Emancipation swept through Clarksville. A useful volume to Civil War historians and women's history scholars alike, The Civil War Letters of Sarah Kennedy pulls back the curtain on upper-middle-class family life and social relations in a mid-sized Middle Tennessee town during the Civil War and reveals the slow demise of slavery during the Union occupation.…

Hardback. Etat : New. Amid the rapid industrialization and urbanization of the early twentieth century, Progressive Era activists across the United States fought for social, political, and economic change. Tennessee women were no exception. In Constructing Citizenship: Tennessee Public Women in the Progressive Era, Mary A. Evins and Minoa D. Uffelman present a collection of essays that explore the contributions and civic engagement of women in Tennessee during this transformative period. Building upon their first volume, Tennessee Women in the Progressive Era, the contributors examine a variety of themes, organizationally structured in four parts: education, associations, service, and suffrage. Across seventeen chapters, the collection covers women's roles in higher education, medicine, and public health; the women's relief corps and patriotic outreach in Tennessee; the women's club movement on the road to suffrage; the power of feminist leadership; women of color leading the national fight for African American reparations and benevolence; philanthropy and community care; rural Tennessee women's support of suffrage; and more. Drawing on a wealth of archival materials, including personal letters, newspaper editorials, and meeting minutes, each contributor foregrounds long-overlooked stories about Tennessee women's public work during the first half of the twentieth century. Covering a period largely missing from the history of Tennessee women, this anthology fills a critical gap in scholarship. Women's history scholars, Tennessee history specialists, and students of US history more broadly will all find it to be a valuable resource both for self-study and the classroom.…
