Description

Nineteen year old Pauline DeCaradeuc started keeping a journal in the summertime of 1863 to record the daily events of the Civil War. The words of the spirited young woman offer us a vivid and moving account of life at the Southern home front all the way through the war and the difficult years of reconstruction that followed.

An enchanting historical document that spans a quarter of a century, Pauline’s journal no longer handiest chronicles events of the war but in addition gives the reader an intimate view of the dichotomous existence of Southern families at the home front struggling to preserve their social structure within the face of danger, deprivation, and decimation.

Illustrated with black-and-white photographs, including frontispiece: portrait of Pauline DeCaradeuc Heyward.

Includes bibliography and index.
