Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1865 Description An account of the resource "This book is of outstanding value as a close-up picture of the management of confiscated and abandoned plantations along the Mississippi River which were leased to Northern speculators and managers, and in detailing the ways of enslaved working on them. The author himself made an attempt to manage a plantation near Waterproof, Louisiana, for a year. Knox, born in New Hampshire, became a war correspondent for James Gordon Bennett's NEW YORK HERALD. He followed the campaigns in Missouri. With the invasion of Tennessee early in 1862, he went with the Federal Army to Shiloh, until he displeased General Sherman, who had him tried by court-martial and expelled. He recorded many experiences, impressions, and conversations with the Southern people in the occupied part of the Confederacy, writing with commendable detachment, but naturally criticizing the Southerners for the slave system and the war."
