Description
Confederate Brigadier General J.E.B. Stuart entrusted a secret album to Laura Ratcliffe, a young girl in Fairfax County, "as a token of his high appreciation of her patriotism, admiration of her virtues, and pledge of his lasting esteem." A devoted Southerner, Laura provided a safe haven for Rebel forces along with intelligence gathered from passing Union soldiers. Ratcliffe's book contains four poems and forty undated signatures of Confederate soldiers and civilians. The author uncovers who these soldiers were and when they could have signed its pages.
