An interesting and worthwhile memoir. The beginning of the book is excellent, and less sensational. The end tends towards a moderate but still noticeable Lost Cause tone. Virginians will appreciate it especially.

Autorenporträt
Sara Agnes Rice Pryor, an American author born in Halifax County, Virginia, was known for her vivid recollections of Southern life during the antebellum period, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Her most notable work, 'Reminiscences of Peace and War' (1904), offers an insightful perspective into the social and domestic aspects of the time, underscoring her literary style which blends personal narrative with historical context. Pryor's writing is marked by its engaging storytelling and attention to detail, enabling readers to garner a nuanced understanding of the era's complex social fabric. Pryor's husband was a General in the Confederate Army, and her experiences provided a wealth of material for her writing, resulting in a rich tapestry of personal anecdotes interwoven with the political and cultural events of the 19th century. Her contributions to literature not only encapsulate the voice of a Southern woman of her time but also serve as invaluable resources for historians and literary enthusiasts exploring the Southern civilian perspective during one of America's most tumultuous periods. Pryor's legacy endures through her literary works, which continue to be referenced in historical and academic circles for their authenticity and eloquent portrayal of life across the Mason-Dixon line.
