PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY:
"My name is Alberta Martin and I was born in nineteen hundred and six, the first day of December. I'm the last Confederate widow living as far as anybody knows..." "I'm Daisy Anderson. I'm 96 and a half years old. And I'm the last widow of the Union soldiers..."
On July 1, 1863, Union troops clashed with Confederates at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The fighting at Gettysburg would mark the beginning of the end for the Confederacy. At that same battlefield on July 1, 1997, Daisy Anderson and Alberta Martin first met. They had come to Gettysburg to be honored as the last known living Civil War widows. Both women married in their early 20s. Their husbands were near 80. Alberta Martin and Daisy Anderson were of course not alive during the Civil War, but they married into history. Producer Joe Richman visited both women and put together an oral history of these two Civil War widows. This is their story, as it originally aired on National Public Radio®'s All Things Considered®.
