Loading... Recollections Grave and Gayby Mrs. Burton Harrison
None No current Talk conversations about this book. No reviews no reviews | add a review
In the expansive canon of Civil War memoirs, relatively few accounts from women exist. Among the most engaging and informative of these rare female perspectives is Constance Cary Harrison's Recollections Grave and Gay, a lively, first-person account of the collapse of the Confederacy by the wife of President Jefferson Davis's private secretary. Although equal in literary merit to the well-known and widely available diaries of Mary Boykin Chesnut and Eliza Frances Andrews, Harrison's memoir failed to remain in print after its original publication in 1916 and, as a result, No library descriptions found. |
