When the men were engaged in the Civil War, some of the Confederate women organized the "Nancy Harts," defending their homes.
History is constantly in the making; the task of the chronicler, confronted with the ever increasing bulk of material, becomes one of abbreviation and elimination. How few names, how few periods, how few events, go to make up what the world ultimately sees fit to keep at the finger-tips of memory. (MI Pioneer and Historical Collections, 1907). An effort to catch bits & pieces of history slipping from the "finger-tips of memory."

Thanks for the very interesting information on the 'Nancy Harts'. I had never heard of them before. This would make a great living history scenario!
