Bøger i Southern Voices from the Past: Women's Letters, Diaries & Writings serien

This biography chronicles the personal and professional life of a principled, resourceful and deeply religious woman. Puckett offers a valuable perspective on schooling in the 20th century rural South, as well as capturing the essence of daily life in the communities.

This collection comprises letters written by Maria Bryan to her sister. Spanning a period from the mid-1820s to the mid-1840s, the letters describe the concerns of a planter's daughter on a cotton plantation, and provide information on issues such as marriage, religion, fashion and education.

This text aims to offer an insight into the lives of the Old South's free women of colour. The letters, from family members and friends, were written between 1844 and 1899 to Ann Battles Johnson, wife of Natchez businessman William T. Johnson, while her granddaughter, Catherine, wrote the diary.

As the wife of a frequently absent slaveholder and public figure, Anna Matilda Page King (1798-1859) was the de facto head of their Sea Island plantation. This volume collects more than 150 of her letters to her husband, children, parents and others, reflecting her everyday life.
