"Among these seventeen accounts are the voices of Emily Harris, who struggled to manage the family farm in her husband's absence; Captain Obadiah Hardin, who fought and died in Virginia before the war was even one year old; Augustus Franks, a German immigrant who took up arms for his adopted Southern home; and more.".
