Book Description
Reminiscences, a memoir, is an exceptionally entertaining and uniquely humorous autobiographical account by author H. J. Daniels. This book presents in articulate writing a wide spectrum of intimate, affectionate and bold personal memories, together with serious thought-provoking comments, often infused with curious surrealistic satire. Here, narratives of the authors life happenings, brought about by the intricacies of life, are candidly told in their minutest details; a treasure trove of learning experience. All accounts are presented in a story-telling framework and a remarkably witty manner capable of enthralling adults of all ages. In addition to stories that readers could personally relate to and learn from, Daniels memoir briefly discusses his Aramean ethnic heritage and provides real-life examples of the maltreatment of others, particularly that related to the enslavement predicament endured by thousands of young Yezidi women and girls.

Author: Susie King Taylor Publisher: University of Georgia Press ISBN: 9780820326665 Category : Biography & Autobiography Languages : en Pages : 138
Book Description
Near the end of her classic wartime account, Susie King Taylor writes, "there are many people who do not know what some of the colored women did during the war." For her own part, Taylor spent four years--without pay or formal training--nursing sick and wounded members of a black regiment of Union soldiers. In addition, she worked as a camp cook, laundress, and teacher. Written from a perspective unique in the literature of the Civil War, Reminiscences of My Life in Camp not only chronicles daily life on the battlefront but also records interactions between blacks and whites, men and women, and Northerners and Southerners during and after the war.Taylor tells of being born into slavery and of learning, in secret, to read and write. She describes maturing under her wartime responsibilities and traveling with the troops in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. After the war, Taylor dedicated herself to improving the lives of black Southerners and black Union Army veterans. The final chapters of Reminiscences are filled with depictions of the racism to which these efforts often exposed her. This volume reproduces the text of the original 1902 edition. Catherine Clinton's new introduction provides historical context for the events that form the backdrop of Taylor's memoir, as well as for the problems of race and gender it illuminates.
