A True Story of Love, Race, and War in the Nineteenth Century.
From five hundred family letters, award-winning historian Martha Hodes re-creates the extraordinary life of an ordinary woman -- Eunice Connolly's family divided over the Civil War, and she later married across the color line. This story of misfortune and defiance takes up grand themes of American history: opportunity and racism, slavery and war, equality and freedom.
