Refugitta of Richmond: The Wartime Recollections, Grave a...
Hughes, Nathaniel Cheairs / Rushing, S. Kittrell
In the expansive canon of Civil War memoirs, relatively few accounts from women exist. Among the most engaging and informative of these rare female perspectives is Constance Cary Harrison's Recollections Grave and Gay. In Refugitta of Richmond, Nathaniel Cheairs Hughes Jr. and S. Kittrell Rushing resurrect Harrison's work, reintroducing an especially insightful perspective on the Southern high command, the home front, and the Confederate elite.
