An Everlasting Circle: Letters of the Haskell Family of Abbeville, South Carolina, 1861-1865 - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

AN EVERLASTING CIRCLE presents the Civil War correspondence of the Haskells, a prominent family of Abbeville, South Carolina. This outstanding collection of eloquent, compelling letters is unusual in that it includes the correspondence of seven brothers in arms. The Haskell brothers were literate, well-educated men, most of whom became officers highly regarded for their ability, courage, and character. Their letters are particularly strong in documenting the beginning days of the war in Charleston, as well as many significant battles in Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. At the center of the story is Sophia Haskell, the mother whose unfailing love and Christian faith was a source of strength for the family through many extraordinary trials. This is the story of a Southern family's faith, patriotism, and devotion to each other through the most tragic, tumultuous period in American history.
