Cornelia Hancock

South After Gettysburg: Letters of Cornelia Hancock, 1863-1865 is a collection of letters written by Cornelia Hancock, a young woman who served as a nurse during the American Civil War. The letters cover the period from 1863 to 1865, and document Hancock's experiences working in hospitals and on the front lines of battles in Virginia and North Carolina. The book provides a unique perspective on the war, as Hancock was one of the few women who served in this capacity. Her letters offer insight into the daily life of a Civil War nurse, as well as the physical and emotional toll that the war took on those who served. The book also includes historical context and annotations to help readers better understand the events and people mentioned in the letters. Overall, South After Gettysburg is an important historical document that sheds light on a little-known aspect of the Civil War and the role of women in it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
