Myrta Lockett Avary was born in Virginia in 1857. She married Dr. James Corbin Avary of Atlanta, and the couple moved to New York City, where she worked on the editorial boards of several prominent magazines. Her interest in sociological and historical work about the South led her to collect and edit the memories of a southern woman and her husband, who had been a Confederate officer.

This 1903 first edition book ‘A Virginia Girl in the Civil War’ is a tale of survival, determination and bravery about a young woman, newly married to a Confederate Officer during the Civil War recounting her travels in Maryland and Virginia as she runs the blockade and her movement from town to town to visit her husband when she could. This book provides a picture of the social life of one of the most interesting and dramatic periods of our national existence.
