Confederate Citadel

Richmond and Its People at War

By: Mary A. DeCredico

Richmond, Virginia: pride of the founding fathers, doomed capital of the Confederate States of America. Unlike other Southern cities, Richmond boasted a vibrant, urban industrial complex capable of producing crucial ammunition and military supplies. Despite its northern position, Richmond became the Confederacy's beating heart—its capital, second-largest city, and impenetrable citadel. As long as the city endured, the Confederacy remained a well-supplied and formidable force. But when Ulysses S. Grant broke its defenses in 1865, the Confederates fled, burned Richmond to the ground, and surrendered within the week. Confederate Citadel: Richmond and Its People at War offers a detailed portrait of life's daily hardships in the rebel capital during the Civil War. Here, barricaded against a siege, staunch Unionists became a dangerous fifth column, refugees flooded the streets, and women organized a bread riot in the city. Drawing on personal correspondence, private diaries, and newspapers, author Mary A. DeCredico spotlights the human elements of Richmond's economic rise and fall, uncovering its significance as the South's industrial powerhouse throughout the Civil War.

Diana's Ball Sports

Baseball - Basketball - Bowling - Cricket - Croquet - Football - Golf - Tennis

By: Lost Century of Sports Collection,Mary J. Lagen

Diana’s Ball Sports is one of 4 volumes in the Sports She Wrote series written by the first woman with her own weekly sports column in a major American newspaper, The Philadelphia Inquirer, from 1898 to 1901. Her real name (which she never revealed in print) was Mary Lagen, a prolific writer and bicycling pioneer, who inaugurated her “Athletic Woman” column at the age of 46. This volume (115,000 words) features Diana’s reports on baseball, basketball, billiards, bowling, cricket, croquet, football, tennis, and her favorite sport, golf. More than 100 of the 152 articles in this volume are about golf, including coverage of the Women’s National Golf Tournament held in Philadelphia that was published on the sports page, apart from her regular column. Several of her articles describe the condition of women’s college sports in the late 19th century. Diana is an engaging writer with a keen observational eye and clever wordplay. The other three volumes presenting Diana's column are Diana's Outdoor Sports, Diana's Fitness Fashion & Beauty, and Diana's Anecdotes & Aphorisms. Additional ball sports are included in the following volumes: Ball Sports; Ella Black, The First Woman Baseball Correspondent; Helen Dauvray, The Actress Who Loved Baseball; and Adelia Brainerd, The Outdoor Woman of Harper’s Bazar. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century.
