The Raleigh Register just reported that the Tableaux offered by the ladies of Raleigh raised $200 for the benefit of “Raleigh Boys” in the field. Ladies throughout the South presented similar performances in order to raise dollars for supplies to send the troops. To see more about the Tableaux phenomenon and to read a book published in 1860 that sought to instruct ladies on these presentations see the blog post from October 12th: http://wp.me/p1qIB8-m9.
