Abstract
OXFORD, Miss. - More than 300 letters written by a University of Mississippi student who left the campus in 1861 to help the Confederate forces fight the Civil War are the basis of a recent book. Jennifer Ford, associate professor and director of archives and special collection in UM's J.D. Williams Library, was inspired to write "The Hour of Our Nation's Agony" (University of Tennessee Press, 2007) as she processed the letters, which were donated to the library in 2002.
