Focusing on the often-overlooked voices of rural Midwestern women during the Civil War, this collection of letters between Ellen Preston Woodworth and her husband Samuel sheds light on their personal experiences and struggles. It contrasts Ellen's interactions with Indigenous peoples in their community and Samuel's service in the Deep South. Their correspondence delves into themes of gender roles, military family challenges, and spiritual matters amid the national turmoil over slavery and freedom, offering a unique perspective on this historical period.
