Am thankful to have discovered

Thankful for all the efforts and sacrifices made by this woman and all peoples who gave their all…for freedom and justice, which are still so elusive for so many. Absolutely worth every minute to hear…should be on lists for all…young and old.

A broad overview

If you are looking for a first person narrative of life following the army during the civil war....this really isn't it. Written decades after the war, when I assume small details not written down immediately faded from the mind, there is more about her life posr-war; in particular her note of the difference in race relations even in the first years of the 20th century.
It is still a fascinating listen, though the narrator commits a few faux pas in pronunciations ("corpse" for "corps" and "calvary" for "cavalry")
