Abstract:

Catharine Parker ran her family's farm in eastern North Carolina during the Civil War. When Union forces arrived in 1865, foragers scoured the countryside for food for soldiers and seized the Parker farm food stores. With minimal food, Catherine Parker was forced to seek help from the officer who ran the Union commissary. Rogers describes how she acquired food for her family.
