Intimate Strategies of the Civil War: Military Commanders and Their Wives
Bleser, Carol K. (Kathryn & Calhoun Lemon Distinguished Professor of History, Kathryn & Calhoun Lemon Distinguished Professor of History, Clemson University (Emerita))
Carol K. Bleser and Lesley J. Gordon assemble an impressive array of leading scholars to explore the marriages of six Confederate and six Union commanders. Contributors reveal that, for many of these men, the matrimonial bond was the most important relationship in their lives, one that shaped (and was shaped by) their military experience. In some cases, the commanders' spouses proved relentless and skillful promoters of their husbands' careers. Jessie Fremontdrew on all of her connections as the daughter of former Senator Thomas Hart Benton to aid her modestly talented husband John. Others bolstered their military spouses in less direct ways.
