i'm trying to identify who wrote this. it came from the dairy of a young tennessee women in the civil war.
"I never before wished I was a man--now I feel so keenly my weakness and dependence. I cannot do or say anything--for it
would be unbecoming in a young lady--How I should love to fight and even die for my country...what a privilege I should esteem it, but am denied because I am a woman."
Any body have an idea who it might be? Also if anyone knows a good resource for infomation about tennesse women in the civil war could you share them.
thanks
