An unrivalled account of the American Civil War from
the Confederate perspective.
One of the most
compelling personal narratives of the Civil War, Mary Chesnut''s
Diary was written between 1861 and 1865. As the daughter of a
wealthy plantation owner and the wife of an aide to the Confederate
President, Jefferson Davis, Chesnut was well acquainted with the
Confederacy''s prominent players and-from the very first shots in
Charleston, South Carolina-diligently recorded her impressions of
the conflict''s most significant moments. One of the most frequently
cited memoirs of the war, Mary Chesnut''s Diary captures the
urgency and nuance of the period in an epic rich with commentary on
race, status, and power within a nation divided.
