One-Minute Devotions for Dads by Jay Payleitner

When This Evil War Is Over is a collection of Civil War correspondence exchanged between members of the James Carrington Francis family of Jacksonville, Calhoun County, Alabama. Six of the seven Francis brothers served in the Confederate army, as did their uncle, four servants, and other kinsmen, and all twelve members of the immediate family of Dr. James Carrington Francis and Amy Ingram Francis as well as several members of their extended family are represented in this volume. While the letters refer to the war and the brothers military service, they also shed light on this family s struggle to survive the profound cultural, economic, and political upheaval that ensued.In addition to the correspondence itself, the editor includes a thoroughly researched introduction that provides an overview of the Francis family history before, during, and after the war, which sheds light on the historical context in which the letters were written. Also included are endnotes that document and elucidate figures and events that receive passing reference in the letters, a genealogical chart of the Francis family, and photographs of each family member. The editor includes maps of the Virginia, Georgia, and Carolinas settings, which allow the reader to follow the progress of Francis family members during the Civil War campaigns in which they participated.
