Featured Civil War book by the Smithsonian in the month after 9/11 as a testament to the strength of the American family. Throughout the Civil War, Captain Jacob Ritner and his wife Emeline exchanged an extraordinary series of letters vividly depicting both life on the battlefield and the home front. Jacob recounts in compelling detail the military events of the Western Theater: Vicksburg, Lookout Mountain, the Battle of Atlanta, Sherman's March to the Sea, and the Occupation of Savannah. Emeline movingly records the lives of those left behind. Theirs is also the story of a family of abolitionists whose patriarch wrote on the day of the Emancipation Proclamation: "... if we as a nation refuse to acknowledge the rights of the black man then it may cost us our national existence." Here is an unforgettable saga, a part of our national heritage. Book jacket.
