The Private War of Lizzie Hardin: A Kentucky Confederate Girl's Diary of the Civil War in Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia.
Description
“1860-August 2, 1865. Visiting in Abingdon, VA, when the war began, Hardin helped prepare soldiers for battle. Returning home to Harrodsburg, KY, she passed through Unionist East Tennessee. She found Nashville dull after the exhilaration of being close to the war front. When Nashville was occupied by Union forces, Hardin took pride in the fact that the ladies refused to let the Yankees touch even the hems of their garments. Back in Harrodsburg, she argued with her Unionist neighbors and refused to take the oath of allegiance for which she was banished to Savannah. After the surrender, Hardin tried to make some sense of the Confederate defeat. The final chapters describe her trip back to Kentucky and the social and political conditions she experienced in the summer of 1865.”
