Before the first shots were fired in the "late unpleasantness" the Ladies of Mobile organized themselves into the Ladies Military Aid Society. They operated in a dynamic and tireless fashion throughout the War manufacturing uniforms, blankets, Mosquito nets, sand bags, leather goods and almost anything else that could give the Confederate Soldier comfort. They staffed hospitals and sent mail and packages to the troops. They provided employment for the destitute families of the Confederate Soldiers and meals for their children. They raised money with no request from the government other than reimbursement for cost of materials. They insured that Doctors in Mobile would provide their services to the Confederate Families free of charge and that Pharmacists would provide medicine at cost. These women were the very finest of Southern Womanhood, which is to say they were the finest and we consider them Confederate Soldiers of the first order and more than worthy to be included on our website. As more information is uncovered about them it will be placed online.
