Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorabilia: And Anecdotal Reminiscences, of Columbia, S. C., And Incidents Connected Therewith Being blessed with a retentive memory, and disposed to inquire into matters and things generally; often called upon to give information on different subjects to parties in various parts of the State - from the establishment of a library chartered by the General Assembly in 1805; the occupants of the premises northeast corner of Richardson (or Main) and Taylor streets in 1820; any particulars as to Count von Hassel, whom the party thought might. be a relative; and the killing of an individual in 1872 - these are merely samples, taken at random. To the first I could not give a definite answer; but suggested, that it was known that a charter had been granted for a library, and one would reasonably suppose the organizers had carried out their ideas. The second I happened to know from reading an advertisement in The Times and Gazette of about that date, that the "Indian Queen Tavern" was located on that spot, and the name of the proprietor (who proved to be the individual about whom the information was wanted). As to the third, the party was informed that Count von Hassel took an overdose of laudanum, died and was buried in Trinity Church-vard; that his widow soon after gave up a flourishing seminary, located in a large building which stood opposite to where her husband was laid to rest, went away and died at the North soon after; that there was no property to be disposed of (the Count's estates having been confiscated, it was understood); and as these events had occurred nearly sixty years ago, I couldn't see any reason for further inquiry. The last I satisfied the inquirer was a similarity of names - the one having died in 1858, naturally. I have from earliest childhood been fond of listening to conversations between and anecdotes told by elderly people, and storing these statements away on memory's shelves, and it is wonderful how fresh they keep - turning them over occasionally and airing some that have been quietly reposing for numberless years. Many evenings I have spent with my old friend. Airs. Mary Hillegas - reading to her news and advertisements from files of old papers, and listening to her interesting comments.

Download or read book Mary Boykin Chesnut written by Elisabeth S. Muhlenfeld and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1992-09-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In her admirable biography of Mary Chesnut, Elisabeth Muhlenfeld has American literature as well as American history in her debt." -- C. Vann Woodward Mary Boykin Miller Chesnut (1823--1886) is known today for her excellent firsthand account of life in the Confederate States of America. A Diary from Dixie (republished in 1981 as Mary Chesnut's Civil War)is far more than a simple diary, however, for Mrs. Chesnut's drawing room was a social center for many of the most prominent political and military figures in the Confederacy. Elisabeth Muhlenfeld's expert biography utilizes Mrs. Chesnut's autobiographical writings, her papers, and those of her family, as well as published sources. It traces her life in South Carolina from her childhood, as the daughter of a governor and United States senator, through her schooling and her marriage to James Chesnut, Jr., the son of a wealthy South Carolina planter. During the war her husband served as an aide to P. G. T. Beauregard and to Jefferson Davis, achieving the rank of general. Muhlenfeld emphasizes Mary Chesnut's last twenty years, when she helped her family through the intricacies of repaying immense debts incurred during the Civil War, rebuilding wrecked homes, and reestablishing some measure of order and security. These were also the years of her serious writing. She experimented with fiction, writing three novels and translating others from the French; and in 1881 she began the last revisions of her Civil War journal. In the descriptive passages, characterizations, thematic patterns, and overall structure of the revised journal, Chesnut employed the techniques she had learned by writing fiction. Besides adding to our knowledge of this unusual nineteenth-century southern woman, Mary Boykin Chesnut: A Biography enhances our knowledge of the history of women in general as it delineates the transformation of a wartime diary into the chronicle that remains a major document in southern history.
Download or read book Columbia Civil War Landmarks written by Tom Elmore and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2011-02-18 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Centered in the Confederacy's Atlantic states, Columbia was one of three untouched Southern capitals at the end of 1864. Its factories produced uniforms, swords, belts, bullets, gunpowder and cannonballs, all vital to the war effort, until the fiery onslaught of Sherman's invasion cut a swath through the city. Tom Elmore, local Civil War historian and tour guide, presents over sixty significant sites throughout the Greater Columbia area that were marked by moments of triumph and devastation during the war. Readers will find the stories behind both well-known and infamous places, including the Horseshoe on the University of South Carolina campus, the gruesome 1864 prisoner of war camp, the ruins of one of the largest textile mills ever built and the monument commemorating the spot where the great city was surrendered.
Download or read book Union written by Colin Woodard and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Christian Science Monitor best book of 2020 "Relentlessly accessible. . . . This is that rare history that tells what influential thinkers failed to think, what famous writers left unwritten." --Jill Leovy, The American Scholar By the bestselling author of American Nations, the story of how the myth of U.S. national unity was created and fought over in the nineteenth century--a myth that continues to affect us today Union tells the story of the struggle to create a national myth for the United States, one that could hold its rival regional cultures together and forge an American nationhood. On one hand, a small group of individuals--historians, political leaders, and novelists--fashioned and promoted the idea of America as nation that had a God-given mission to lead humanity toward freedom, equality, and self-government. But this emerging narrative was swiftly contested by another set of intellectuals and firebrands who argued that the United States was instead the homeland of the allegedly superior "Anglo-Saxon" race, upon whom divine and Darwinian favor shined. Colin Woodard tells the story of the genesis and epic confrontations between these visions of our nation's path and purpose through the lives of the key figures who created them, a cast of characters whose personal quirks and virtues, gifts and demons shaped the destiny of millions.

Download or read book The Scandalous Lives of Carolina Belles Marie Boozer and Amelia Feaster written by Tom Elmore and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A look into the lives of a Civil War-era mother and daughter whose exploits were tabloid fodder and worthy of a reality show. In Civil War Columbia, South Carolina, no women were more gossiped about than Amelia Feaster and her teenage daughter, Marie Boozer. The Philadelphia-born Feaster, a widow three times before her thirty-first birthday, aided the Union war effort from her home, while Marie became infamous for her beauty and vanity. For over a century, scandalous tales of these women have been published across the nation, linking them to rich and powerful men both at home and abroad. Historian Tom Elmore sorts through the many myths and legends—involving such things as adultery, decapitation and the Russian tsar’s jewels—about Feaster and Boozer to present the first fact-based biography of these two nineteenth-century tabloid queens.

Download or read book South Reports the Civil War written by J. Cutlery Andrews and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the newspaper profession the problems confronted in reporting the Civil War were as catalytic as the war itself was for American society. Many of the problems encountered in reporting later wars were present in the Civil War, but they were new problems then: communications, transportation, Federal confiscation of printing presses, censorship, military personalities, and, after mid-1863, how to tell a proud people that it was losing the war. Professor Andrews, author of The North Reports the Civil War (1955), now turns his attention to the South. He shows that Southern war reporting at its best was comparable in quality to that of the leading Northern war correspondents, that the reporting of news by the Southern press was an essential ingredient not simply of journalism but also of the Confederate propaganda effort, and that the South's newsmen contributed to the revolution of a profession, an industry, and a form of human communication.
