About This Item

Hartford, CT: W.S. Williams & Co, 1865. Hardcover. 384p; 9 plates. A brown cloth hardcover book in acceptable condition. Edges of spine wearing through. Dampstaining along top and bottom edges throughout text block. Endpapers tanned, and patchy tanning on pages 140-141. Light foxing and flecks of staining throughout; text is otherwise unmarked. Binding is a little shaky but secure enough for handling. Sarah Emma Edmonds (1841-1898) was a Canadian-born woman who claimed to have served as a Union soldier and spy during the Civil War. Historians have long doubted the veracity of her memoir. This is the first edition under this revised title. Complete with 9 plates.

Reviews

On Oct 27 2020, a reader said:
I purchased this book at the Printers Row Litfest in 2019. This book, which was published in 1865, the last year of the Civil War, concerns a woman from Canada who fled to the U.S. to escape an arranged marriage and then enlisted in the Union Army, dressed as a man and using a male name as an alias. She got away with her deception and she actually took part in the fighting, as well as acting as an Army nurse (despite the fact that she had no training of any kind) and she also acted as a spy, dyeing her skin to look like an African American. I have read many books on the Civil War, including first person accounts, but I have never read another one like this. I recommend the book to anyone who likes to read about the Civil War.
