Journal Article
Anna: The Letters of a St. Simons Island Plantation Mistress, 1817-1859 (review)
2006
Overview
The richness is in the detail: medicine, travel and communication, parenting, education, extended family relationships, plantation finances, slavery, death, religion- these topics and more are dealt with on a daily basis, and that specificity provides important insight into the minds and lives of antebellum Southern women. Living on her St. Simons Island plantation retreat and owning fifty slaves, Anna assumed responsibility for the family's financial security.
