Excerpt from Eliza Pinckney
In preparing this life of Mrs. Pinckney, I have, as will be seen, kept as closely as possible to the very numerous letters which she has left us, and to a few others written by members of her family or friends.
The task of selecting such of these, or such portions of these, as might best suit the purpose proposed, - namely, the illustration of the social and domestic life of the time and place, - has been my chief duty. I have endeavored to show, as well as might be, the way of thought, the occupations, manners, and customs of the women of Carolina in the last century.
When compelled to seek other sources of information, in order to complete the picture, I have consulted the most nearly contemporaneous authorities accessible, preferring to show the opinions and beliefs of the people of the day rather than to seek the judgment of posterity. For this end the authors consulted have been our native historians, Ramsay, Moultrie, Drayton, etc., all of whom were, for the Revolutionary period, a part of the story which they tell.
