520			_a"A Woman's War Record, 1861-1865" by Septima M. Collis is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book details the author's personal experiences during the American Civil War as a woman who lived among soldiers and participated in military life, providing a unique perspective on the war. As the wife of a Union officer, Collis recounts her transition from a Southern sympathizer to being deeply involved with the Union Army, while navigating the complexities of war, personal loss, and resilience. In this narrative, Collis offers a rich tapestry of her life as a "camp follower," capturing the essence of daily military activities, social gatherings, and the emotional turmoil of war. She shares vivid stories of her encounters with prominent figures, including President Abraham Lincoln, and her experiences in the field with her husband’s regiment, emphasizing both the chaos of battle and the camaraderie of camp life. The memoir includes poignant reflections on loss, anxiety, and evolving loyalties, illustrated by her brother’s service in the Confederate army and her husband’s multiple battles and illnesses. Overall, the book provides a personal lens through which to understand the broader context of the Civil War, highlighting the often-overlooked contributions and challenges faced by women in that era.
