THE DIARY OF DOLLY LUNT BURGE, Part I

Description

“1861-1865. Records the difficulty of managing a 200-acre cotton plantation in central Georgia, as prices increased, and the supply of goods and labor decreased. When Sherman's soldiers ravaged Burge's well-stocked smokehouse and larder and stole pigs and poultry, she says she was $38,000 poorer, but a stronger rebel. A portion of a diary that runs from February 6, 1847, to September 29, 1879. Also published in the GEORGIA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY, (1960-1962) 44-46.”
