New York: Harcourt, 2002. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 9 1/4 h x 6 1/4w. A real nice clean 445 page first edition hardcover. Has just a little wear and still real nice. War is hell--and not only on the battlefield, as John Waugh eloquently demonstrates in this fascinating and poignant portrait of one of the South's most well-known and admired couples, Roger and Sara Pryor, their friends, and their society. Pryor was an ardent and fiery newspaper editor, secessionist leader, and soldier; she a graceful and compassionate companion, mother, and survivor. They were present at many of the crucial moments before and during the Civil War, from the first shot at Sumter to the fall of Richmond. Living examples of the South's pride and success before the war..
