Four years in Secessia: A Narrative of a Residence at the South Previous to and During the Southern Rebellion, up to November 1863

Description

“This pamphlet is an attack on the South and it’s kind of civilization, as seen by a native of New York who went from Cincinnati to Yazoo City, MS, in 1859 and engaged in teaching school while her son entered the business. After Mississippi seceded, she made her way to Virginia, stopping first at Charlottesville, and established residence in Richmond, where she remained until November 1863, when she made her escape through the lines by way of Harper’s Ferry. In this account, she devotes most of her attention to conditions in Richmond, wherein she describes Castle Thunder Prison, high prices, the bread riot, a visit to Jefferson Davis, and the people of the city.”
