Details

Gunpowder Girls combines meticulous research and moving narrative to tell the true stories of three appalling Civil War disasters involving girls as young as ten. Author's note. End notes. Selected bibliography. Recommended reading. Index. Maps, diagrams, and charts. Black-and-white photographs and reproductions.

"Thoroughly researched and beautifully written, this tragic story of 140 girls and young women killed by gunpowder explosions in three arsenals where they produced ammunition for Civil War armies reveals details previously unfamiliar even to Civil War historians. We can now add their names to the human toll of America's greatest conflict."—James McPherson, Pulitzer-Prize-winning author of Battle Cry of Freedom
