The Northern Home Front
During the Civil War
— 19th century Wisconsin woman
“As long as the country can’t get along without grain, nor the army fight without food, we’re serving the country just as much here in the harvest-field as our boys on the battle-field.”
(Giesberg, Army at Home: Women and the Civil War on the Northern Home Front, 18.)
