From the Forward: Octavia Walton LeVert came from good stock. Her grandfather signed the Declaration of Independence. This multi-talented lady was a woman extraordinaire who accomplished many things in her lifetime. In this book, Paula Webb describes her as an author, wife, and mother known for being a gracious hostess who entertained famous poets and politicians. Her intelligence and ability to converse in several languages drew them to her. Octavia ventured far from her hometown of Mobile, Alabama. Extensive travel in the United States and abroad expanded her horizons, as did being accepted into wide circles of society, meeting a president and the Queen of England. Contrary to the norm of the era, this woman was accepted by males who sought her opinion and advice. She was a person first and a female second. Webb outlines the many facets of Octavia's personality, showing how she dealt with tragedy, adversity, and success. She takes readers through changing times leading up to the Civil War, illustrating how this Southern woman was torn by long-held loyalties conflicting with those of the region where she lived. Extensive research provides valid documentation from primary and secondary sources. Those specific, proper details prove Octavia was-as the title suggests-Such a Woman, a woman for all ages and seasons. The book is a page-turner and a must-read. It is timely and timeless, combined with an appealing style. When you have finished reading it, you will know Octavia.

There are many books of many kinds and this volume properly classified would probably belong to the "sui generis," "sic trasit gloria mundi" variety. If the reader has grown a little rusty on classic Latin I do not mind saying to him further that the latter phrase has been sometimes translated, "My glorious old aunt has been sick ever since Monday," but I do not think that this revised version has been generally accepted as strictly orthodox. This book cannot be said to have been written without rhyme or reason for its pages hold more rhyme than poetry and three reasons at least, have conspired to give it literary existence. A hundred years and more from now it may be that some far descendant of the author, while fingering the musty shelves of some old library, may find some modest satisfaction in the thought that his ancient sire had "writ" a book.

On August 5, 1864, the Civil War arrived at Mobile s doorstep. The Union navy blockaded Mobile Bay and the city for eight months. Confederate general Dabney Maury fought to protect the city and its citizens who refused to leave, such as Octavia LeVert and Augusta Evans. Union admiral Farragut and General Canby slowly starved the city, knowing that the fall of Mobile could end the war. Author Paula Webb details the experiences of the ordeal and the defeat of a Confederate city that echoed through the entire country."
