Description

“I wonder whether the brand new year is to bring us new miseries and sufferings,” seventeen-year-old Emma LeConte wrote in her diary on December 31, 1864. In reality, the worst was once yet to return. Her later entries portray town of Columbia, South Carolina, like much of the South, under the grip of Sherman’s army. No reader of this diary is prone to disregard the defiant, well-bred Emma, who describes a circle of relatives’s anxieties and brave attempts to get on with life whilst the Civil War rages around them.
