About This Item
1980. CHESNUT, Mary Boykin. WILLIAMS, Ben Ames (ed.). A Diary from Dixie. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1980. 8vo. xxviii, 572 pp., frontis. Orig. cloth. Very good. In Tall Cotton 23. Harwell writes, "This is one of the great diaries-from any time and any place. Mrs. Chesnut recopied (perhaps rewrote) her diary after the war and her heirs permitted it to be published after some excisions. But the 1905 edition is an excellent one and proves that Mrs. Chesnut wrote with art and charm that transcend her occasional lapses in fact and transpositions of the sequence of events." This present copy is an expanded edition of Chesnut's diary originally published in 1949.
