About This Item
The University of Alabama Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2002. Hardcover. Hardback; very good in very good dustjacket. ; The correspondence between William and Emily Moxley, a working-class farm couple from Coffee County, Alabama. An insight into the the hardships of civilian life on the home front. Emily's moving letters to her husband, startling in their immediacy and detail, chronicle such difficulties as a desperate lack of food and clothing for her family, the frustration of depending on others in the community, and her growing terror at facing childbirth without her husband, at the mercy of a doctor with questionable skills. Major Moxley's letters to his wife reveal a decidedly unromantic side of the war, describing his frequent encounters with starvation, disease, and bloody slaughter. Illustrated; +xiipp. ; 182 pages .
