'Role of Women in the War', 1861, (1938). ''Most of the women of the country, North and South, turned courageously to the tasks left by the men who had gone to fight. There were clothes to be sent to the army, bandages to be rolled, and countless sacrifices to be made in the household budgets. Many Southern women volunteered for munitions making and some courageously served as spies. From Adventures of America 1857-1900, by John A. Kouwenhoven [Harper & Brothers Publishers, New York and London, 1938]
