J. E. B. Stuart visited the Graham Mansion in Wythe County as a youth. He wrote a letter about his visit and the fine dinner he had as a guest of Squire and Martha Pierce Graham. The Grahams were the in-laws of Jeb's oldest sister Nancy, who married James Pierce.

This is the untold story of the Union's "hard war" against the people of the Confederacy. Wholesale plundering of personal property, and even murder of civilians.

In July 1864, Union General William T. Sherman ordered the arrest and deportation of more than 400 women and children from the villages of Roswell and New Manchester, Georgia. Branded as traitors for their work in the cotton mills that supplied much needed material to the Confederacy.

The battle at Antietam Creek, the bloodiest day of the American Civil War, left more than 23,000 men dead, wounded, or missing. Facing the aftermath were the men, women, and children living in the village of Sharpsburg and on surrounding farms. In Too Afraid to Cry, Kathleen Ernst recounts the dramatic experiences of these Maryland citizens--stories that have never been told--and also examines the complex political web holding together Unionists and Secessionists, many of whom lived under the same roofs in this divided countryside.

Confederate women and men who sought to protect themselves and their family treasures, usually in vain. Dominating these events is the general himself -- "Uncle Billy" to his troops, the devil incarnate to the Southerners he encountered.
