Review
Delightfully prefaced, impressively narrated and edited . . . Document[ing] such topics as why soldiers fought, day-to-day privations, and even Henry's imaginary worries about Eliza's fidelity. Ann Fox Chandonnet and Roberta Gibson Pevear can indeed be proud of their achievement, clearly a labor of love as well as sound scholarship. --H. Draper Hunt, author of Dearest Father: The Civil War Letters of Lt. Frank Dickenson, a Son of Belfast, Maine
Write Quick is an insightful collection engaging the reader with the hardships and insecurities of two soldiers separated from family and home during the American Civil War. Contributing to the little known Western Theater, intimate correspondence laced with historical annotation makes for a heart-felt and informative read. This intriguing story appeals to the genealogist, historian and lover of romance alike. --Jim Head, Civil War interpreter, author of Clash at Picacho Peak
Ann Fox Chandonnet and Roberta Gibson Pevear . . . have painstakingly researched and compiled this inspiring book, providing especially moving and insightful portraits of women's lives and work from childrearing, cooking, cleaning, and health care. Whimsy and humor add to what might have become a dreary catalog of labor at home and at the battlefield, and Write Quick is a delightful and engaging read. . . . Generations of readers will thank [the editors] for collecting and sharing these artifacts of history. --Roxanne Newton, author of Women Workers on Strike: Narratives of Southern Women Unionists
