Mary Chesnut's prose has lost none of its provocative bite through the ages: "I think incompatibility of temper began when it was made plain to us that we get all the opprobrium of slavery while they, with their tariff, get the money there is in it." Nor any of its ironic sense of humor: "We try our soldiers to see if they are hot enough before we enlist them. If, when water is thrown on them they do not sizzle, they won’t do; their patriotism is too cool."©2017 Audioliterature (P)2017 Audioliterature

No other Civil War account covers the ground that this one does.
What’s missing? More perspectives of the poor black & white people during this time. Mary Chestnut was the wife of a senator and confederate officer which must be remembered as she gives her thoughts & assessments of the time. Even so, this is a must read if you endeavor to understand the American Civil War & its aftermath which is still felt today in the groundwater of the nation.
Must read—unique view of Antebellum, bellum & post bellum Southern life
