Branch's family became deeply involved in the Civil War: her uncles, cousins, and brothers all held leadership positions in the Confederate army. She describes conditions in the South immediately following the war, praising the "kukluxers" for filling the need for order during Reconstruction. The final section is family geneaology.  Grab this one while you can.
