4.0 out of 5 stars A very Good Civilian Perspective, Jul 18 2000
By "jeanwool" (Central KY USA) - See all my reviews
It's not too often that you get a Civilian view of the Civil War. This book shows how Seccesh and Unionists acted towards each other in a border state, depending upon who's troops were occupying the town of Lexington (Home of John Hunt Morgan). The diary was written by a homebound girl (she had epilepsy) with Union leanings. The area that she saw from her window still exists today, including her home and others mentioned and also show up on a hand-drawn map that is in the book. A very good book for those seeking something besides the same old worn out War stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good civilian perspective of War time KY, Jul 17 2000
By "jeanwool" (Central KY USA) - See all my reviews
A very good diary of the occupation of Lexington KY by both CS and US troops during the Civil War. Since the city was home to both Unionist and Secceshionist Civilians, it shows how each acted depending on who occupied the city at the time. It is a good illustration of Home Front activity.
