Myers, The Children of Pride

The other traditional basic book about the Midway Society is The Children of Pride: A True Story of Georgia and the Civil War, edited by Robert Manson Myers, published 1972 by Yale University Press. It consists of letters written by various relatives before and through the unpleasantness of the middle 19th century.

The original edition is a huge hardback, running to some 2,000 large format pages, and including an extensive Who's Who in the back. It's hard to find now, and goes for about $70 when you can locate a copy.

There is a smaller paperback abridged edition covering basically just the war years, which is readily available from the Midway Museum and other places; they refer to it as the best publicity they ever had. It is available directly from Yale University Press.

It seems that Myers has written a play cycle drawn from this book: Quintet: A Five-Play Cycle Drawn From The Children Of Pride; Meyers, Robert Manson // Myers, Robert M. // Introduction by Gillespie, Patti P. - Trade Cloth
