A fascinating collection of letters of the Maverick family . particularly from Samuel Maverick, a lawyer, and his wife, Mary Maverick, that provide a personal and intimate view of the American Civil War. The letters offer a unique, first-hand account of life in Texas during the Civil War and shed light on the internal conflict and tensions felt by families in the South, especially in Texas, which was a border state with its own complex social and political dynamics. Through the letters, readers are able to gain insight into the emotional and psychological toll the war took on individuals and families, the role of women during wartime, and the deep divisions that existed even within Southern society. Of special interest are letters from Mary Adams Maverick to her sons Lewis, Willie, and George. In her letter dated February 21, 1864, to her son Lewis Antonio Maverick she wrote "I hope you are quite well again. Oh, when will the weary war be over? God hasten peace & bless you, dear Lewis." Fine, unread, bright copy without dust jacket, as issued Housed in the original cloth and boards slipcase with titles on a paper spine label.
