Trials and Triumphs reveals the anxiety, hardship, turmoil and tragedy that women endured during the war years. It reveals the fierce loyalty and enmity that nearly severed the Union, the horror of enemy occupation, and even the desperate austerity of an itinerate refugee life. Originally published in 1992, this revised paperback edition includes a new index.

Presented here are excerpts from diaries and letters written by Southern women from different walks of life and areas of the country. Included are personal reminiscences from Union and Confederate women living in Winchester, Virginia, a town that reportedly changed hands 76 times during the war.

Never Will We Forget deals with the most enduring and moving side of World War II, the personal side.

This work examines the problems that Southern women faced during the Reconstruction Era as mothers, wives, daughters or sisters of men burdened with financial difficulties and Republicanism. Specific illustrations of their tribulations are provided with letters and diaries of five women.
