The True Story of a Southern Belle & a Yankee General, by Suzy Barile. At the end of the Civil War, spirited Ella Swain - daughter of the University of North Carolina President - shocked citizens across the state when she fell in love with and married the Union general whose troops occupied Chapel Hill. Author Suzy Barile separates fact from lore, drawing on Ella Swain's never-before-published letters that reveal a love that transcended outrage and scandal.
