Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The year 1861 found the Bulloch and Roosevelt families divided by allegiance. Now living in the North, the Bulloch women supported their Southern roots, while their northern husbands stayed true to the Union. The War created additional hardships, limiting the family's correspondence, travel, and finances. With two sons fighting for the South and one dying back home in Georgia, the family letters tell of the ladies' struggles to aid and comfort those they loved, all amidst a background of the Civil War. Transcribed and presented as written in the mid-1800s, these letters illustrate a world often presented in film and fiction but here presented as personal history.The first volume in this historic saga series is Mittie & Thee: An 1853 Roosevelt Romance. It contains the letters exchanged by Mittie Bulloch in Georgia and Theodore Roosevelt in New York during their courtship and the planning of their December wedding. The third volume, Divided only by Distance & Allegiance presents the war years letters and journals.
