VP Beast Butler?

"Shocking things happen in wars! I think the more interesting point, which Stephanie McCurry makes in her book, Confederate Reckoning, is that women, instead of being kept out of war, were exposed to it, and more precisely they were inserting themselves into it by bold and risky acts of protest. OK chamber pots and spit rather than guns and knives, but aggressive acts by any measure."

I used to give talks on Into the Fray: How the Civil War Changed the Role of Women. A book that I loved on the subject was written in the 1960s, can't remember the author, but the title was Bonnet Brigades.

One more question about the Beast: There was some controversy over his role at Fort Fisher, but I don't remember it...
