Synopsis
"I wonder if the new year is to bring us new miseries and sufferings," seventeen-year-old Emma LeConte wrote in her diary on December 31, 1864. In fact, the worst was yet to come. Her later entries portray the city of Columbia, South Carolina, like much of the South, under the grip of Sherman's army. No reader of this diary is likely to forget the defiant, well-bred Emma, who describes a family's anxieties and brave attempts to get on with life while the Civil War rages around them.

From the Back Cover
The Diary offers a new insight into the civilian side of the war's last bitter days in the South. It is an impressive literary creation that reveals some of the characteristic social structures and attitudes of the southern upper class at midcentury. It tells the reader a good deal about certain kinds of southern women.
About the Author
