Rose Cottage Chronicles
Civil War Letters of the Bryant-Stephens Families of North FloridaBy Arch Frederick Blakely, Ann Smith Lainhart, Winston Bryant StephensNarrated by Christopher WalkerLength18h 7m
About this audiobook
As fresh and poignant today as when they were written, these touching letters capture the heart of everyday life during the Civil War.
Set both at home in Florida and on the front, the letters were written by two generations of families whose members included radical secessionists, moderates, and even a few unionists.
The domestic letters, written mostly by mothers and daughters, describe their emotions in dealing with Yankee invaders and slaves and offer a rare picture of the expanded role of women as farm managers. From the military camps, soldiers write about Abe Lincoln, “coloured troops,” and deadly battles.
Especially, though, the letters tell a love story between Winston Stephens and Tivie Bryant, whose brief married life was interrupted by the war.
