Documenting events through photography became a popular phenomenon during the Civil War. The Civil War Sesquicentennial Series showcases these historical images and provides detailed commentary for each photograph. Each ebook in the series focuses on an aspect of the war, such as its administration, new technologies, and the people and occupations of the day.
This collection of photographs includes famous First Ladies, women spies, pioneering health care professionals and many other women who played pivotal roles during the Civil War. Wives, Spies and Women of the Civil War spotlights well-known figures such as Harriet Beecher Stowe, Clara Barton, and Harriet Tubman, as well lesser-known women who also made groundbreaking contributions to the Union and Confederacy. Learn about the Confederate spy who convinced a Union soldier to help her escape a death sentence. Discover one of the first female doctors in the United States and read how she refused to give back her hard-earned medal when politicians refused to acknowledge her wartime contributions. Each picture in the collection includes accompanying historical facts and colorful stories about the women.
Images in the Civil War Sesquicentennial Series were selected, curated and annotated by writers and editors of Thinker Media, an independent publisher of contemporary and historical works.
