Review

"Anyone interested in a well-researched account of Confederate women's responses to Sherman's march will find this study rewarding."
— American Historical Review

"A worthy addition to the burgeoning literature focusing on the social and cultural aspects of the Civil War. Concise yet thoroughly researched, it contributes fresh, thought-provoking insights into a long-neglected area of study: the interaction between General William T. Sherman's soldiers and southern civilians, black and white, male and female, during his march through the Carolinas."
— The South Carolina Historical Magazine

"A well-written, well-argued, thought-provoking account of this less-remembered, but perhaps more important, part of Sherman's march across the South. Campbell convinces the reader that southern women did not react passively and that the presence of Union troops reinforced rather than destroyed their loyalty to the Confederacy. In accomplishing this goal, Campbell has deftly addressed and intertwined the fields of women's history, African-American history, military history, and public memory in a brief, accessible work. Civil War Book Review"

"One of those rare books that artfully weaves military and social history into one story while seamlessly analyzing the cultural assumptions of an era that should have ruled the behavior of both combatants and civilians, and later shaped the memory and interpretation of Sherman's March through the Carolinas. . . . A fascinating subject, meticulous research, and an eminently readable narration. Georgia Historical Quarterly"

"Both intellectually sophisticated and warmly human, it's a major work. Highly recommended. (Mark Grimsley, author of The Hard Hand of War: Union Military Policy Toward Southern Civilians, 1861-1865)"

From the Inside Flap

Blending Civil War and women's history, Campbell examines the effects of Sherman's March on the southern home front. She finds that southern women were staunch defenders of their homes and models of self-assertion. She also offers a new appraisal of the complex range of African Americans' reactions to Sherman's soldiers.
