Sad Earth, Sweet Heaven: The Diary of Lucy Rebecca Buck During the War Between the States

"Diaries are the "candid cameras" of their day catching and preserving a mien of history that enthralls us most. This Lucy Buck has done with literary skill and rare perception on her daily record of the martial sixties in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia - is military, political and economic aspects as well as the domestic and social." -- Laura Virginia Hale.

A complete index and maps and pictures and a supplement that gives additional information make this a book not only for history buffs but historians as well.
