- Abstract:
- Anna Ella Carroll was one of the more remarkable, if relatively unknown, business and political writers during the Civil War era. She wrote government pamphlets that explained complex legal issues, lobbied for the railroad industry by writing business articles, and campaigned on behalf of governors and presidents. This paper explores Carroll’s iconoclastic role as a political and business writer during the Civil War era.
