A fictional reconstruction of antebellum life in historic Liberty County, Georgia, home of some of the Old South's wealthiest planters. Originally published in 1898 in response to Harriet Beecher Stowe's UNCLE TOM'S CABIN, this blend of fiction and memoir looks through the eyes of a white plantation mistress at her home, her marriage, slave life, and the destruction of the plantation economy caused by Sherman's army in December 1864. Two photos.
