Richmond during the war : four years of personal observation

The Civil War turned the genteel world of Virginia society upside-down. This title describes the excitement of secession giving way to sacrifice and grim determination, the women of Richmond aiding the war effort, the funerals and hasty weddings, the reduced circumstances of even the 'best' families, and the despicable profiteering.
