Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent Historical Account
Comment: Factual account of day to day life in easy to read wording. Historically accurate.

Rating: 5
Summary: Not your bland and sanitized version of American history.
Comment: Winners of the wars get to write the history books...so you have to look a little further to get truer impressions. I use a lengthy excerpt from this book in advanced US History classes to give the kids a clue why the South was so bitter about Reconstruction. They come away very thoughtful. But the unabridged version is the only real deal.

Rating: 5
Summary: Read the UNABRIDGED title if you can find it.
Comment: I am half way through this 1400 page book and it is hard to put down. The UNABRIDGED edition is a must. It includes an INDEX in the back of Who's Who which lists biographies of the Free and the Slaves. These letters reveal the warm relationships between the whites & blacks in this family, the belief that the South was fighting the second American Revolution to preserve a nation under the Constitution and rule of law, the influence of the Scotch Presbyterian church in evangelizing the Negro population with the gospel, the honorable as well as influential position women held in the home as managers of the household, the difficulty of travel by railroad or horseback, what they ate, wore and how they conducted routine business. I have thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to finishing it. I also recommend "Sarah Morgan's Diary" which is also a firsthand account written in Louisiana by a 19 year old girl. "Sarah Morgan" was much more readable than "Mary Chestnut's Diary" which is probably better known. Sarah Morgan was a gifted writer.
