Infos

God Save the South: 40+ Memoirs of Defiance presents an extraordinary tapestry of personal narratives, shedding light on the diverse experiences and steadfast resolve of those who lived through one of America's most turbulent eras. The collection encompasses a vast range of literary voices, from diary entries of soldier boys to fiery political memoirs of generals, each piece contributing a unique point of view to the overarching themes of defiance, identity, and survival. Notable works within the anthology illustrate the profound sense of duty and unyielding spirit that characterized the Southern cause during the Civil War, offering readers an unparalleled glimpse into the personal convictions that fueled this epochal conflict. The contributing authors of God Save the South are an eclectic mix of soldiers, civilians, nurses and outlaws, politicians and officers, each bringing their individual perspectives to this cohesive anthology. Figures such as Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis to the less influential yet equally significant voices of Sarah Morgan Dawson and Cole Younger, collectively paint a rich, multidimensional portrait of the Southern experience.
