Ok, but the list of stories where men are fighting during the Civil War far outnumber any books with women in them or other stuff. That is of course unless we look at romance titles,w hich I dont think really count in this mess.

[quote=""Ludmilla""]I waited til the last minute to vote and finally swung toward Celia Garth... I had no idea it was an older book (I tend to like the older ones). Fantastic Fiction dates it to 1950, but Wik shows it as 1959. Anyone know which is correct?[/quote]
I have a book club edition with a 1959 copyright and a newer edition with a copyright dated 1959 and renewed 1987 by Louis Bristow. I'm going with 1959.
