Heart in Tatters: Eunice Hunt Tripler and the Civil War Reviews
“This volume enables us to hear the voice of a woman, and her words reveal the experience of the Civil War through a gendered lens, one we don’t often get to see through. This perspective prompts the reader to think about the Civil War and the experience of war in new ways. This exciting inaugural volume stands as a tremendous contribution and sets the stage for the series of MCWA publications to follow.”
“In this inaugural publication of the Michigan Civil War Association, I was privileged to be introduced to a remarkable woman who had a front-row seat to the social, political, and military challenges of this tumultuous time. This book would be a welcome addition to the shelves of anyone who enjoys reading about the lesser-known stories surrounding the Civil War.”
“Eunice Hunt Tripler’s detailed and accurate recollections of her well-connected life before and during the war are enlightening and entertaining. The MCWA has done a real service to Civil War scholarship in publishing these lively and forthright memoirs.”
“Eunice Hunt Tripler’s delightful memoir is a valuable resource for historians of the mid-19th century and fascinating reading for anyone interested in America’s past.”
