"A leading British actress, Fanny Kemble married a wealthy Philadelphian during her American tour in 1834. She abandoned the stage and settled into married life, initially unaware of her husband's 'dreadful possessions,' some 700 slaves on his coastal Georgia plantations. Her Journal covers a period of almost four months, recording grief and outrage at the depredations of slavery. . . . The University of Georgia Press has restored a rightful classic to print."-- Atlanta Magazine, "A classic study of life and the living conditions of both owners and slaves."-- Florida Historical Quarterly, "Long recognized as unique in the literature of American slavery and of life in the antebellum South."-- Virginia Quarterly Review, "A leading British actress, Fanny Kemble married a wealthy Philadelphian during her American tour in 1834.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Excellent reading that is factual

  • I think this book should be required reading in high schools everywhere.

    I think this book is a must read for any US citizen. It was an important book when it was first published in the mid-1860's, and it is still an important book because it explains the horrors of slavery as practiced in antebellum Georgia. I have given away copies of this book for years, and I will continue to urge people to read it to understand better our nation's history. As a country, we tend to see the antebellum south through the lens of such works as Gone With The Wind, and that picture is, politely, wrong and wrong-headed.
