Women in the Era of the American Civil War (1861-65) An Irish Angle

An Illustrated Presenttion by Aidan O'Hara

The title alone of Aidan's forthcoming illustrated talk is sure to generate a great deal of interest, and the many visuals he uses will be of as much interest as the talk itself. The best diarists in the South were women, and Aidan's particular interest is in what they had to say about the Irish -old long-settled Planter Irish, and the newly arrived poorer Famine immigrants.
There were the 400 women who pretended to be men so that they could fight for their respective sides.
