02 - Under the Guns - A womans reminiscences of the Civil War by Annie Wittenmyer

In Under the Guns, experience the untold stories of the Civil War through the eyes of a woman who lived through it all. This collection of true-life reminiscences offers an authentic glimpse into the heart of a tumultuous period, grounded in real events and personal encounters. From her first days of volunteering in the hospitals near her home in Keokuk, Iowa, to the poignant moments shared with soldiers and their families, the author captures the essence of resilience and compassion amid chaos. My goal is to shine a light on the many personal tales entwined with the significant military events of 1861 to 1865. Join me in revisiting a time when courage and humanity prevailed. - Summary by Celine Major
