SECOND PRINTING, NEW LOWER PRICE!
L. VIRGINIA FRENCH'S
WAR JOURNAL 1862-1865


  The second printing is here! Much of our initial printing cost and overhead was covered by the sale of our first printing of this fantastic book. Now we can offer it to you at an even lower price than before. Hopefully this will give even more people access to this book which many are calling the "Civilian Company Aytch".

  L. Virginia French's journal gives the best insight into the everyday life of a Middle Tennessean that was ever put to pen. During the first part of the journal her thoughts are somewhat philosophical but as time goes on and the war comes to her home in McMinnville Tennessee it all becomes very personal. Accounts of Yankee raids on the town, factories burned without warning while the female workers are still on the top floor and Cavalry battles literally in her front yard. She entertains General John Hunt Morgan and his new bride Mattie Ready Morgan days after their wedding. Fans of General Morgan will be amazed at the stories Mrs. French records in her journal as told by the General himself. Written down the very day of the telling. General Wheeler visits so often that a member of his staff becomes engaged to Virginia's niece!
  Women will be astounded by the details of of the local ladies dress, right down to the fabric, buttons and even their jewelry.
  Details of how Terry's Texas Rangers were re-equipped by the local tradesmen, from their horse tac, shoes, boots and even how the local ladies pitched in to help with the clothing.
  Every General officer, Colonel or Major that passes through the area calls on Mrs. French and she relates their tales to you through her journal. So many of the nagging questions about everyday life during the period, that I never thought I would know the answer to unfolded before me in crystal clarity as I read this journal.
  It is probably best that we let her speak for herself.

  A very small portion of this journal has been edited for clarity. In a few cases so has the spelling. But for the most part is appears here just as it does in the journal.

PLEATED WHITE COTTON SHIRT
SHORT "STAND UP" COLLAR

  The shirt being offered today as a special has the short "stand up" collar unlike the photo "left". It is the same in every other respect.

  Just in time for the Christmas or the Lee - Jackson Ball! A wonderful white cotton pleated shirt. I'm overstocked on just a few sizes and as always I need the room for other products. This is normally a $30. shirt but while they last you can have one for only $22.50!

  Now here is a fantastic shirt that is very hard to find. Reason being it's difficult to make but it's well worth the effort. You can see in the photo that the upper most button is not fastened. Sorry, I wanted to fasten it and put a cravat on for you but my necks a little too large, these shirts do fit normal people, honest. They are 100% cotton, very soft and ready to wear. 4 button front placket with a stand up collar and the button holes are hand sewn. The pleated front is very dressy. If your asking yourself, "I wonder if that shirt is really correct?" Here's where you can find it. Look through the old repro Frank Leslie or Harper's weekly papers. This shirt can often be found on the back in the advertisements. You could order them by mail from NYC at a cost of $10. for a dozen. I'm afraid the price has gone up a little since then but it's still a great shirt. I just can't imagine an officer or successful businessman not having at least one of these.

RUSTY RIBBED TIN CUP

  Well it's time once again for our rusty tin ware sale! It was hot and humid in Tennessee this year. Who knew?! And just like every year at the end of the summer we have some rusty tin ware for sale cheap. The photo left is of the small ribbed tin cup but we are selling the LARGE RIBBED TIN CUP. It looks just like the little one but a schunch larger.
  How much you ask? CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP! While they last you can have them for only $6.95, that's a $5. saving and just because of a little rust, really they're not that bad. Oh well, my loss is your gain.

  We may be a little "late out of the gate" with this item, I know some other folks have been offering you this item for some time. Sorry but I was not going to list these until I found a tin maker who would make a quality cup at an affordable price. It took a while but here it is. The photo left is of our small, it stands three inches tall and is three inches wide. The large model stands four inches tall and is four inches wide.
  These cups are made from good heavy quality tin which is "ribbed" in the center for extra strength. They are made of a good period design so they look great. The handle is large enough to get your hand in comfortably and it has the heavy wire throughout the handle which attaches it to the top of the cup. The small version of our cup holds 1 1/3 cups while the large holds 3 full cups! That's a lot of coffee, I can't afford to have mine filled at fivebucks, whoops, I mean Starbucks.

SPECIAL STAINLESS STEEL CUP & PLATE



  What a bargain! A large cup and a 10 inch plate both made of stainless steel and for only $9.95 They will not last long at this price. This is a one time deal and I don't have a lot of them. If you want em you better get em quick. They are not quite as heavy as our normal SS wear but I don't see how you can go wrong at this price. Great for camps with lots of kids and only one cook/cleaner/Mom. Stainless makes clean up a breeze even if you don't get to wash them right away.

1860 CAVALRY SABER

  Wow! what a great deal on an 1860 Cav. saber. These sabers are very sturdy and well made. The size and weight of this blade is very close to the originals too. There are some dings on the leather handle wraps but nothing larger than a quarter inch. Nothing to loose any sleep over, just thought you should know. The best part about these sabers is the price. Only $39.95. I've only got a few. If you want one you had better get it now before they are all gone.

PISTOL FLASK

  Here's a great deal for anyone who owns a black powder pistol. I recently bought 200 pistol flask sight unseen. Not exactly the smartest thing I did that day. But hey, my loss is your gain. These are not our top quality flask. If you want the best flask you can buy then just go to our catalog on page 7. If you like a great deal on a flask then your in the right place.
  What's wrong with them?
  There not that bad, really. There just not top quality so I won't sell them as if they were. I don't like the way the spring re-acts when you open or close the spout. Since I really don't have time to replace 200 flask springs I'm just gonna pass them on to you bargain hunters. Worst case, you have to replace the spring before too long.
If you need an extra flask for your FFFF priming powder or you would like to keep your pistol's packing material (cream of wheat) in a more authentic container then these flask will work just fine.

BRASS BUCKLES

  Sorry that the photo is not as clear as it should be. These cast brass buckles are not the top quality buckles that we sell everyday. But with that being said I'll add that they aint that bad either. They have the traditional C.W. style back but they are easily converted to fit your everyday belt. Made from solid cast brass that will last a lifetime. But I saved the best for last, they are super cheap! $5.95 each for oval or rectangle buckles and $9.95 for tongue and wreath. It's hard to go wrong at that price.

Here's the line up; Top left tongue and wreath is a Ky. state seal.
