    About this ebook

    This fascinating book was written by a woman named Parthenia Antoinette Hague about her trials and tribulations during the American Civil War. The author and her family lived in southern Alabama, not far from the town of Eufaula, Alabama. The state seceded from the United States on January 11, 1861. Ultimately six companies of the Confederate States Army (CSA) were raised at Eufaula and Barbour County. Eufaula was the site of what may have been the last battle of the Civil War and by May 1865, it was reported that 10,000 Union troops had occupied Eufaula.

      Poem Of The Week: The North Wind By Anne Brontë

      May 8, 2023

      That wind is from the North, I know it well;No other breeze could have so wild a swell.Now deep and loud it thunders round my cell,Then faintly dies,And softly sighs,And moans and murmurs mournfully.I know its language; thus is speaks to me – ‘I have
