Review:
About the Author:
""Josie's perspective on the tensions between the Confederate and the Union armies brings light to the inner struggle within her hometown of Bowling Green, which served as Confederate Headquarters in 1861, as well as an important water and shipping route. This first published edition of Josie's diary gives voice to the written accounts of a slave-owning woman who opposed both Lincoln's policies and Kentucky's secession, while still sympathetic to the Union's cause."" -- news.uky.edu
Nancy Disher Baird is a librarian and specialist in Kentucky history at the Kentucky Library (Special Collections) at Western Kentucky University.
