Willie Sharp Askew (1861-1896) was the daughter of Confederate Army Brigadier General Jacob Hunter Sharp who was a Columbus, Mississippi attorney prior to the Civil War and who resumed his legal career post-war as well as being editor and publisher of the Columbus Independent and serving in the Mississippi House of Representatives. General Sharp's brother Thomas Jacob Sharp (1826-1864) achieved the rank of captain serving with Company E, 10th Mississippi Infantry and was killed at the battle of Atlanta. As Thomas Sharp was unmarried and childless at his death it seems likely that his books were inherited by his brother.
