Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All
Overview
Lucy married at the turn of the last century, when she was fifteen and her husband was fifty. If Colonel William Marsden was a veteran of the "War for Southern Independence", Lucy became a "veteran of the veteran" with a unique perspective on Southern history and Southern manhood. Her story encompasses everything from the tragic death of a Confederate boy soldier to the feisty narrator's daily battles in the Home--complete with visits from a mohawk-coiffed candy-striper.
This production, originally released in 1994, has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling. As a Miniseries series, it brings a fresh perspective to the Drama, War & Politics genre, maintaining a strong viewer rating of 5.0 across its 1 season.
