The fall of the Confederacy and the reaction of the antebellum south to the progress of the Civil War is seen through the perspective of Kate Stone here in her journals. Kate Stone was part of a wealthy family who owned and managed a plantation before and during the war before they fled from their Louisiana plantation. Her journals are obviously sympathetic to the South in the war against slavery in America, but remain an important contemporary look at the lives of Americans in the south during the antebellum period. Features complete dust jacket; three tears to the corners of the front cover, minor rubbing to the foot of the spine, minor chipping to the crown, as well as some browning along the top and spine edge of the back cover; inside flap of the front cover has a tear along the top edge. *HPB offers this title purely as an item of scholarly, historical and/or sociological interest.
