The Sea Captain's Wife: A True Story of Love, Race, and War in the Nineteenth Century
Author: Martha Hodes
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393078396
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
A finalist for the Lincoln Prize, The Sea Captain's Wife "comes surprisingly, and movingly, alive" (Tina Jordan, Entertainment Weekly). Award-winning historian Martha Hodes brings us into the extraordinary world of Eunice Connolly. Born white and poor in New England, Eunice moved from countryside to factory city, worked in the mills, then followed her husband to the Deep South. When the Civil War came, Eunice's brothers joined the Union army while her husband fought and died for the Confederacy. Back in New England, a widow and the mother of two, Eunice barely got by as a washerwoman, struggling with crushing depression. Four years later, she fell in love with a black sea captain, married him, and moved to his home in the West Indies. Following every lead in a collection of 500 family letters, Hodes traced Eunice's footsteps and met descendants along the way. This story of misfortune and defiance takes up grand themes of American history—opportunity and racism, war and freedom—and illuminates the lives of ordinary people in the past. A Library Journal Best Book of the Year and a selection of the Book of the Month Club, Literary Guild, and Quality Paperback Book Club.

Around Morristown
Author: Shaun Bryer
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 9780738509235
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Attracting many to the heart of northern Vermont each year are Morristown and its neighbors-Johnson, Wolcott, Elmore, Stowe, and Hyde Park. Morristown, seen as Lamoille County's economic engine, is an upbeat community with a rich history to which each of the surrounding towns has contributed. However, in the bustle of new growth and development, it often seems as if that history has been forgotten. Around Morristown is an invitation to relax and explore the Morristown of yesterday, a time when life was less hectic, when sprawl was not a concern, and when the Bijou Theatre had only one screen. Included among the early photographs of people and organizations, schools and churches, businesses and industries are the Randall Hotel, Governor Hendee, the Centennial Block, and Alexander Copley.

The Second Vermont Volunteer Infantry Regiment, 1861-1865
Author: Paul G. Zeller
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786443456
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
The many regiments that fought in the Civil War each had their own stories to tell about what they saw, smelled, tasted, heard and felt while serving in war. The Second Vermont Volunteer Infantry Regiment saw its first combat at the Battle of Bull Run and fought on to Lee's surrender. This richly illustrated work draws from service, pension and court-martial records, and personal letters and diaries to portray the junior officers, noncommissioned officers, and privates of the regiment as they were in battle, on the march, and in camp. Some were heroes, like Private William W. Noyes, awarded the Medal of Honor, and others were not, like Private George E. Blowers, executed for desertion. A roster of the 1,858 men who served in the regiment is provided.
