Abstract:
During her husband's service in the Confederate Army, Macon County resident Mary Bell demonstrated an unknown level of personal growth and flexibility apparent in her letters to her husband, Alfred. In their correspondence, Mary describes her problems and her neighbors'--providing a detailed view of her community. This insight into a community which, while isolated from the war, was also affected by it daily.
