Bøger af Shirley A. Leckie

Written in accessible prose that includes a synthesis of recent scholarship, this revised edition delves into the social impact of being an African-American soldier in the 19th century.

In Elizabeth Bacon Custer and the Making of a Myth, Shirley A. Leckie explores the life of "Libbie," a frontier army wife who willingly adhered to the social and religious restrictions of her day, yet used her authority as model wife and widow to influence events and ideology far beyond the private sphere.
