    Isabelle Boyd was raised in Martinsburg, VA, now WV; a town that was in the heart of the Civil War. Martinsburg was captured and changed sides 37 times during the war. Belle Boyd was a teenage confederate when the war started and when the Union soldiers took control of her family's home, the officers felt free to discuss their plans, not thinking that a young girl would understand their intentions. Boyd wrote this book in 1865 from her notes and memory shortly after the war ended and her husband had died. She was struggling to raise a baby and make a living, therefore, she wrote the book as a source of income. The book reads like a novel and academic historians say that the book is pure fiction. Other sources say she embellished the truth. Even if she embellished the truth, I thought the book gave the reader a good sense of time and place. I was not aware that there were female prisons during the Civil War.
