DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Women of Missouri During the Sixties In publishing the Reminiscences of the Women of Mis souri during the Civil war, the Missouri Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy does not desire to keep alive sectional bitterness or revive memories which have lain dorm-ant for half a century. The gathering of these precious statements from the survivors of that terrible time has been a labor of love. For many years after the close of the war the whole South, our dear old state, Missouri, included, was intent upon rehabilitating itself as it were; upon accepting the new order of things, and trying to bring a new life out of the ashes of desolation; a desolation appreciated only by the brave who had cast their all in a righteous cause and lost. There was no time or thought for the things of yesterday, and as time went on, and order came out of chaos, there arose a mighty gathering of the daughters of the Southland, to band them selves together for the purpose of caring for the helpless vet erans who had worn the gray, for the rearing of monuments to the memory of the Lost Cause, and for the gathering of and preserving all the matter of historical nature.

I believe you would keep this war up for thirty years." Yet unlike many collections penned for the Daughters of the Confederacy, this book has a conciliatory tone. Yes, it includes accounts of suffering and bitterness. But the preface states the authors "do not desire to keep alive sectional bitterness or revive memories which have lain dormant for half a century." What they did intend was to record the sacrifices and efforts made by women of the south during the war. One of the most moving sections of the book is at the end. It is a first-hand recounting of the gathering on the field of Gettysburg of the veterans of both sides, fifty years after the battle. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Women in Missouri History is an exceptional collection of essays surveying the history of women in the state of Missouri from the period of colonial settlement through the mid-twentieth century. The women featured in these essays come from various ethnic, economic, and racial groups, from both urban and rural areas, and from all over the state. The authors effectively tell these women’s stories through biographies and through techniques of social history, allowing the reader to learn not only about the women’s lives individually, but also about how groups of “ordinary” women shaped the history of the state. The essays in this collection address questions that are at the center of current developments in the field of women’s history but are written in a manner that makes them accessible to general readers. Providing an excellent general overview of the history of women in Missouri, this collection makes a valuable contribution to a better understanding of the state’s past.
