Synopsis

Old Enough to Die is a fascinating historical account of a southern family -- their lives, their devotion to the South, and their conviction that what they were doing was right. The dramatic story of the Bostick family is told through private letters from the family of Irene Jackson Wills, wife of the author. Originally transcribed in 1966, the letters deal with the Bosticks' personal reactions to the war itself and to the events surrounding Civil War America.
