Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Diary From Dixie Mrs. Chesnut's Diary are vivid pictures of the social life that went on uninterruptedly in the midst of war; of the economic conditions that resulted from blockaded ports; of the manner in which the Spirits of the people rose and fell with each victory or defeat, and of the momentous events that took place in Charleston, Montgom ery, and Richmond. But the Diary has an importance quite apart from the interest that lies in these pictures. Mrs. Chesnut was close to forty years of age when the war began, and thus had lived through the most stirring scenes in the controversies that led to it. In this Diary, as perhaps nowhere else in the literature of the war, will be found the Southern spirit of that time expressed in words which are not alone charming as literature, but genuinely human in their spontaneousness, their delightfully uncon scious frankness. Her words are the farthest possible re moved from anything deliberate, academic, or purely intel lectual. They ring so true that they start echoes. The most uncompromising Northern heart can scarcely fail to be moved by their abounding sincerity, surcharged though it be with that old Southern fire which overwhelmed the army of mcdowell at Bull Run.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Dixie The ten years following immediately on the close Of the civil war. Was a bitter bad time in the South, and particularly in Vir ginia. Her tobacco trade was gone, her farms had been turned into battle-fields; all the debts predicated on negro property had come on the land, and there was no staple, like cotton, to fall back on; all this added to the horrors Of reconstruction. To the women those ten years were a nightmare Of mis fortune and effort. They were bound to new conditions, like victims to a Wheel, and broken by them. Life was disrupted, even paralyzed, and homes which had been in families since the settlement Of the country passed into other hands.

February 20, 1862-- July 21, 1862 OLUMBIA, S. C, February 20, 1862.--Had an appetite for my dainty breakfast. Always breakfast in bed now. But then, my Mercury contained such bad news. That is an appetizing style of matutinal newspaper. Fort Donelson 1 has fallen, but no men fell with it. It is prisoners for them that we can not spare, or prisoners for us that we may not be able to feed -. that is so much to be " forefended," as Keitt says.

I am like Mrs. Nickleby, who never saw a horse coming full speed but she thought the Cheerybles had sent post-haste to take Nicholas into co-partnership. So I got up and dressed, late as it was. I felt sure England had sought our alliance at last, and we would make a Yorktown of it before long. Who was it? Will you ever guess?--Artemus Goodwyn and General Owens, of Florida. 1 Fort Donelson stood on the Cumberland River about 60 miles northwest of Nashville. The Confederate garrison numbered about 18,000 men. General Grant invested the Fort on February 13, 1862, and General Buckner, who commanded it, surrendered on February 16th. The Federal force at the time of the surrender numbered 27,000 men; their loss in killed and wounded being 2,660 men and the Confederate loss about 2,000. Just then, Mr. Chesnut rushed in, put out the light, locked the door and sat still as a mouse. Rap, rap, came at the door. "I say, Chesnut, they are...
