A Southern Woman's Story, by Phoebe Yates Pember. This volume launches the press's new "American Civil War Classics" series. First published in 1879, the book recalls Pember's years as a matron at the Confederate Chimborazo Hospital in Richmond, VA, from 1862 to the city's fall in 1865. It is a remarkably frank treatment of Confederate social and medical history. Pember reports on the gossip and scandals from inside the Confederacy's largest hospital and the embattled city of Richmond, presenting bureaucratic personalities and stock characters with insight and occasional flashes of humor.
