Louisa's losses climax with Southern defeat in April 1865 and four rapid personal tragedies in
January/February, 1866: the exit of all but a handful of the freed Pantops slaves; the out of wedlock pregnancy
of her "sister," Nannie Anderson by their first cousin, David Anderson; the death of Eliza Macmurdo, the eldest
Anderson grandchild; the death of Louisa's Mammy Eliza, mother of Nannie and grandmother of Eliza. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
