Margaret Junkin Preston, the wife of Virginia Military Institute founder Colonel J.T.L. Preston and sister-in-law of Stonewall Jackson, was known as the "Poetess of the Confederacy" for her epic poem Beechenbrook and other war-related poems (some of which are included in this volume). Beechenbrook follows the fortunes of a Virginia soldier's wife and her family through the hardships and heartaches of the Civil War—a moving, poignant story in verse.
