The Diary of Emma LeConte

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Seventeen-year-old Emma LeConte, traversing the streets of Columbia, South Carolina, could scarcely have imagined that her daily path past Mary Chesnut's cottage would later connect her to another chronicler of history. While Chesnut was composing her renowned Civil War diary, Emma herself was meticulously documenting the tumultuous events unfolding around her in February 1865. In stark contrast to Chesnut, who fled the city as General Sherman's cannons reverberated through Columbia, Emma remained, providing a rare and invaluable eyewitness narrative of the city's invasion, sack, and burning by Federal forces. Her diary's immediacy and emotional clarity render a vivid tableau of devastation and human suffering, capturing, with remarkable intensity, an era defined by destruction and loss.
