[ Author Information Bibliographic Details Kathleen Boone Samuels (1842-1925) of Front Royal, Virginia, penned twenty-five letters to her mother when she was a student at the Woodstock (Virginia) Female Academy in 1860. Clothes formed the major preoccupation of this exuberant teenage girl, who, despite repeated protests to her parents that she was concentrating on her lessons, filled her letters with discussions of the latest fashions and requests for various items of apparel. Her correspondence also sheds light on the curriculum of an antebellum female academy. In 1862, Kathleen became the bride of Green Berry Samuels, a young Confederate officer. This volume includes one letter from Kathleen to her husband, written after the end of the Civil War in 1865, urging him to obtain his release from prison and return home to his wife and baby daughter. | |
