Quoting extensively from diaries, memoirs, letters, and essays, author Tracy J. Revels lets Florida’s women speak for themselves about their experiences during the Civil War. These women come from diverse backgrounds,from different social classes, and levels of education.

“Grander in Her Daughters stands as a major accomplishment. In fact, it stands as one of the best works of Florida history published in the last  twenty years. The author of Florida’s Civil War: Terrible Sacrifices and many other works of Florida history, Tracy J. Revels, a native of Madison, Florida, has taught history at Wafford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina since 1991. Even as she was marooned in the Palmetto State, Revels has become one of the leading historians of the Sunshine State. Grander in Her Daughters offers readers a wide-ranging perspective on an important time and place. It is a must read for anyone interested in the Civil War in Florida. It provides us with a fascinating glimpse into a world seldom chronicled in our existing literature.”
