“May 26, 1863-April 26, 1864. Wife of Brigadier General John Basil Tuchin who followed her husband to Tennessee. She was critical of everyone in charge of the conduct of the war, especially those who were profiting from the war. She noted her views on religion, war aims, rumors, the press, and the people of the South. Both Nadine and John were immigrants from Russia, where he had served in the Russian Army.”
