Between the Wedding &; the War : The Bulloch/Roosevelt Letters 1854-1860

Between the Wedding and the War continues the true saga of two families, the northern Roosevelts and the southern Bullochs. For seven years letters flowed between the Bulloch and Roosevelt families capturing a poignant time of upheaval foreshadowed by war. The letters tell of births, deaths, love, religion, and business and follow Martha Bulloch and two of her remaining unwed children North. While stories of family journeys convey the spirit of America's expansion and growth, stories about the home front reveal two different cultures. In the midst of it all, a president is born. The first volume in this historic saga series is Mittie & Thee: An 1853 Roosevelt Romance. It contains the letters exchanged by Mittie Bulloch in Georgia and Theodore Roosevelt in New York during their courtship and the planning of their December wedding. The third volume, Divided only by Distance & Allegiance will present the war years letters and journals.
