Civil War Women: Their Quilts, Their Roles, Activities for Re-Enactors

North and South, black and white - the story of the War Between the States is embedded in the soul of every American. In this volume on quilts and the Civil War, Barbara Brackman introduces nine women who lived during those turbulent times, matching each woman to a quilt that she might have made herself. There are nine projects, adapted from period quilts, with patterns and instructions, and activities related to each woman's story, from abolitionist speaker Lucy Stone to freed slave Susie Taylor King to Confederate spy Belle Edmondson.
