Description: You are considering a hardcover book, with DJ, THEY FOUGHT LIKE DEMONS: WOMEN SOLDIERS IN THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR by DeAnne Blanton and Lauren M. Cook; PUBLISHER: Louisiana State University Press, Baton Rouge, LA; a 2002 first printing; 277 pages. Popular images of women during the American Civil War include self-sacrificing nurses, romantic spies, and brave ladies maintaining hearth and home in the absence of their men. However, DeAnne Blanton and Lauren M. Cook show in their remarkable new study, that conventional picture does not tell the entire story. Hundreds of women assumed male aliases, disguised themselves in men's uniforms, and charged into battle as Union and Confederate soldiers--facing down not only the guns of the adversary but also gender prejudices of society. They Fought like Demons is the first book to fully explore and explain these women, their experiences as combatants, and the controversial issues surrounding their military service.

Saturdays and Sundays are not business days. Occasionally, I am out of town on Fridays or Mondays. Packages that will be traveling by FedEx Ground or UPS may take an extra day to get shipped as I am not close to their drop-off locations.
