A Rebel Wife in Texas : The Diary and Letters of Elizabeth Scott Neblett, 1852--1864 /

Elizabeth Scott Neblett's autobiographical record is the fascinating tale of one woman's life -- a life both ordinary and extraordinary. It is also, in important ways, the wider story of a culture rent by turmoil from within and without.
