Then and Now: Reminiscences and Historical Romance, 1856-1865
description: “This is a chronicle of the author's experiences, primarily in North Carolina and primarily in the last half of the 19th century, life in Piedmont, etc., with chapters on the Civil War, slavery, evolution, courtship, etc. It includes intimate, fresh stories about the "doings" of people in that area and much detail about the Civil War. The War topics include first impressions; happenings at the old muster ground, 1862; Home guard and patrol; the terrors of a night scene; the turning of the tide; surrender of Lee. This work includes many details about the War and other aspects of Southern life. Its value lies in its genuineness, immediacy, and the amount of detail, especially in relation to the War.”
