Memoirs of Life in and Out of the Army in Virginia During the War Between the States

OK...so since 2004, this listing has been contained in the Civilian Section Buy/Sell/Trade folder...and I figured this would be an equally rated book, of relevance to the military side of the hobby.

For a detailed description, and with excerpts to the book, follow this link to the existing thread:

Memoirs of Life in and Out of the Army in Virginia During the War Between the States, compiled by Susan Leigh Blackford from original and contemporaneous correspondence and diaries. Annotated and edited exclusively for the private use of their family by her husband Charles Minor Blackford. In Two Volumes

I finally made good and bought them over the weekend...what a fantastically detailed account of this family's trials, tribulations, and accounts from Wartime Virginia and what the impact was on this particular family.

With the Christmas Season here, I cannot think of any library that could be complete, without this wonderful reference. While in perusing the gift shop, I also managed to pick up some other fantastic documentaries like Bad Blood, and Ed Bearss Video Tour of the Battle of Lynchburg on DVD.

Paul- I agree, it is great reading.

Next time you are in Lynchburg I'll take you by the Blackford house and the Blackford cemetery plot.
