Somebody's Darling

Somebody's Darling is a collection of eyewitness accounts and stories of the Civil War. These are narratives of soldiers, spies, generals, and families on both sides of the conflict: men and women who showed uncommon courage, who suffered physically and emotionally, and who sought to record their memories so that others could learn and grow from their experiences.Written originally by these individuals, edited and/or compiled by several publishers shortly after the war, and then collected and edited for this volume from multiple sources, Somebody's Darling provides insight into a dark period of American history: revealing humor, tragedy, sorrow, hope, fear, and the resilience of the human spirit. Their stories will transport you to another time in history, present you with emotions that are universal, and leave you with a perspective of the war that is based on personal experiences. Somebody's Darling is dramatic, touching, uplifting, and true.
