Experience the extraordinary tale of Lucy Marsden, who in 1984 at the age of 99 became the nation's oldest living widow of a confederate soldier.

From the heartache of the Civil War and despair of the Great Depression, to the joy of a family and achieving self-liberation, this tale will leave you marveling at a woman of tremendous resolve and spirit.
