Condition: fair to good. 572, footnotes, index, large blue "X" inside front flyleaf, some staining to boards & spine, some wear to board corners. Some wear to top and bottom edges of spine. This original diary of the wife of Confederate General James Chesnut, Jr., who was also an aide to President Jefferson Davis, provides an eyewitness narrative of the Civil War. Period photos illustrate this account of the daily lives and tribulations of all those who suffered through the war, from ordinary people to the Confederacy's generals and political figures.
CHESNUT, Mary Boykin. WILLIAMS, Ben Ames (ed.). A Diary from Dixie. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1980. 8vo. xxviii, 572 pp., frontis. Orig. cloth. Very good. In Tall Cotton 23. Harwell writes, "This is one of the great diaries-from any time and any place. Mrs. Chesnut recopied (perhaps rewrote) her diary after the war and her heirs permitted it to be published after some excisions. But the 1905 edition is an excellent one and proves that Mrs. Chesnut wrote with art and charm that transcend her occasional lapses in fact and transpositions of the sequence of events." This present copy is an expanded edition of Chesnut's diary originally published in 1949.
