The Leverett Letters: Correspondence of a South Carolina Family, 1851-1868 |
|
| Edited by Frances Wallace Taylor, Catherine Taylor Matthews, J. Tracy Power |
|
| "It will be an extreme disadvantage to you all your
life, not to be able to make easy use of your pen," Mary Maxcy Leverett lectured one of her
sons on the art of letter writing in May 1863. Adopting her keen interest in lively,
well-written correspondence, Mary's nine children wrote home frequently as they ventured
from their South Carolina plantation to college, postgraduate study, travel in Europe, and
service in the Confederate army. Little did they realize that these letters, which served
as a vital means of communication within the family, would offer a window
into the world of the southern planter class for readers almost a century
and a half later. As compelling as fiction, the 230 letters collected in this
volume paint a vivid, very personal portrait of southern life from the late
antebellum era through Reconstruction. |
