Book Description
Excerpt from A Diary From Dixie Mrs. Chesnut's Diary are vivid pictures of the social life that went on uninterruptedly in the midst of war; of the economic conditions that resulted from blockaded ports; of the manner in which the Spirits of the people rose and fell with each victory or defeat, and of the momentous events that took place in Charleston, Montgom ery, and Richmond. But the Diary has an importance quite apart from the interest that lies in these pictures. Mrs. Chesnut was close to forty years of age when the war began, and thus had lived through the most stirring scenes in the controversies that led to it. In this Diary, as perhaps nowhere else in the literature of the war, will be found the Southern spirit of that time expressed in words which are not alone charming as literature, but genuinely human in their spontaneousness, their delightfully uncon scious frankness. Her words are the farthest possible re moved from anything deliberate, academic, or purely intel lectual. They ring so true that they start echoes. The most uncompromising Northern heart can scarcely fail to be moved by their abounding sincerity, surcharged though it be with that old Southern fire which overwhelmed the army of mcdowell at Bull Run.

Book Description
Excerpt from From Dixie The ten years following immediately on the close Of the civil war. Was a bitter bad time in the South, and particularly in Vir ginia. Her tobacco trade was gone, her farms had been turned into battle-fields; all the debts predicated on negro property had come on the land, and there was no staple, like cotton, to fall back on; all this added to the horrors Of reconstruction. To the women those ten years were a nightmare Of mis fortune and effort. They were bound to new conditions, like victims to a Wheel, and broken by them. Life was disrupted, even paralyzed, and homes which had been in families since the settlement Of the country passed into other hands.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Grandmother's Recollection of Dixie The refined and cultivated society which frequent ed Jones and Shocco Springs cannot be excelled. The large dancing hall was filled nightly with belles and beaux; how well I remember the green lawn, the half dozen swings suspended from the limbs of the oak tree, the band stand from which Frank Johnson's band sent forth its inspiring music; the candy stand presided over by Oscar Alston, and everybody so kind and pleasant.
