Civil War Eufaula draws on a wide range of first-hand individual perspectives, including those of husbands and wives, political leaders, businessmen, journalists, soldiers, students and slaves, to produce a mosaic of observationson shared experiences. Together, they communicate what it was like to live in this riverside trading town during a prolonged and cataclysmic war.
