Download or read book Recollections of a Southern Matron written by Caroline Gilman and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been many editions of this popular 1838 work, written by a Northern woman who lived for many years in Charleston, S. C. Technically, it is a fiction book because of her apocryphal story-line. She relies heavily, however, upon her real-life experiences in the American South. Written in first person narration, with the concentration on domestic life on a Southern plantation, Gilman highlights the serenity of the slaves, who were always called "servants." But this is not her main theme. She does not get into heated politics of abolition, the rights of man, etc., but probes more into the day-to-day interpersonal relations between master and servant and their inter-dependence upon one another. The book is a cultural report of what is, not of what ought to be. She neither condemns nor lauds Southern domestic life, but presents a fictionalized story line based on her experiences. Her work has long been valued for the spirit and fidelity with which she has painted rural and home life. The book shows habits of keen observation and an artist-like power of grouping and character development. A variety of human emotions are stirred, including laughter and tears as such events as births, weddings, and funerals are covered. Her writing has stood the test of time, and many people have enjoyed her books and poetry.

Book Synopsis All Things Altered by : Marilyn Mayer Culpepper
Download or read book All Things Altered written by Marilyn Mayer Culpepper and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-09-18 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few readers of Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind remained unmoved by how the strong-willed Scarlett O’Hara tried to rebuild Tara after the Civil War ended. This book examines the problems that Southern women faced during the Reconstruction Era, in Part I as mothers, wives, daughters or sisters of men burdened with financial difficulties and the radical Republican regime, and in Part II with specific illustrations of their tribulations through the letters and diaries of five different women. A lonely widow with young children, Sally Randle Perry is struggling to get her life back together, following the death of her husband in the war. Virginia Caroline Smith Aiken, a wife and mother, born into affluence and security, struggles to emerge from the financial and psychological problems of the postwar world. Susan Darden, also a wife and mother, details the uncertainties and frustrations of her life in Fayette, Mississippi. Jo Gillis tells the sad tale of a young mother straining to cope with the depressed circumstances enveloping most ministers in the aftermath of the war. As the wife of a Methodist Episcopal minister in the Alabama Conference she sacrifices herself into an early grave in an attempt to further her husband’s career. Inability to collect a debt three times that of the $10,000 debt her father owed brought Anna Clayton Logan, her eleven brothers and sisters, and her parents face-to-face with starvation.
Download or read book Recollections written by Carl Romney and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-04-23 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir outlines the life of a scientist spanning much of the twentieth century. It began at a time before radios were found in most American homes, and before the advent of talking pictures. His interest in science was born at an early age, sparked by his mother, as she introduced him to the stars in a dark Utah sky. Early experiences and training were much the same as for any other boy at the time. But with the beginning of war in Europe, and the U.S. response by instituting universal conscription (the draft), he realized the importance of education in fulfilling his military obligation, and enlisted in a Navy training program. Navy service took him to Chicago and Southern California, and eventually to little-known Peleliu Island in the Western Pacific, a foretaste of a life of frequent travel to follow. World War II was followed all too soon by the retreat of the Soviet Union behind an Iron Curtain of secrecy, a massive buildup of conventional forces and armed occupation of neighboring countries. It became essential to know when they succeeded in building the atomic bomb. This book is a first-hand account in non-technical terms of some of the ways in which this was accomplished. This was followed by attempts to ban the bomb, or at least to ban nuclear testing. The author was fortunate to be near the center of U.S. efforts in many of these attempts, and the book describes important activities and events that ultimately led to achieving the lesser of these goals.
Book Synopsis Recollections of a Housekeeper by : Caroline Gilman
Download or read book Recollections of a Housekeeper written by Caroline Gilman and published by Applewood Books. This book was released on 2008-07 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catherine Gilman's 1834 work provides a picture of domestic life and manners in New England. Claiming to take as her source the mingled results of observation and experience, Gilman's work provides insight into the life of a homemaker in nineteenth-century New England and is the precursor to her later Recollections of a Southern Matron. Taken as a pair, the two works provide insight into the regional differences in domestic economy between the North and the South in antebellum America.
Book Synopsis The Southern Railway by : Sallie Loy
Download or read book The Southern Railway written by Sallie Loy and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2004-04-13 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Southern Railway was the pinnacle of rail service in the South for nearly 100 years. Its roots stretch back to 1827, when the South Carolina Canal & Rail Road Company was founded in Charleston to provide freight transportation and America's first regularly scheduled passenger service. Through the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the Great Depression, rail lines throughout the South continued to merge, connecting Washington, D.C. to Atlanta and Charleston to Memphis. The Southern Railway was born in 1893 at the height of these mergers. It came to an end in 1982, merging with Norfolk and Western Railway to become Norfolk Southern Railway. The history of the railway lives on, however, and Norfolk Southern continues to "serve the South." In 2003, the Southern Railway Historical Association selected the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History as the repository for their extensive archives. Included in this collection are hundreds of professional quality, black-and-white photographs taken by company photographers throughout the railway's history. These photographs not only capture the transition from steam to diesel and the pinnacle of rail travel, but also the development of the South through much of the 20th century. While a few of these images have been seen by the public, the vast majority have not.
