Produktbeschreibung
In 1837 Sarah Frew Davidson began keeping a private journal recording the events of her daily life. Years later, her collection provides an intimate glimpse into antebellum life in North Carolina. Sarah, as mistress of one of Mecklenburg County's largest plantations, The Grove, offers a 19th-century perspective on slavery, education and the impact of religion in the lives of Southern women. Begun in the wake of the religious revival that swept the South in the mid-19th century, this journal serves as a candid perspective into life in the changing ?village? of Charlotte capturing the effects of the newly constructed U.S. Mint and the Carolina gold mining rush on this small community. Davidson's journal is featured here, meticulously transcribed in its entirety. Also included are supplementary historical annotations, maps and biographical details that provide a comprehensive background for the events and people mentioned in the journal.
