Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n The journal of Ella Gertrude Clanton Thomas, spanning the years from 1848 to 1889, is rare for its treatment of both the Civil War and postbellum years and for its candor and detail in treating these eras. Thomas, who was born to wealth and privilege and reared in the tradition of the southern belle, tells of the hard days of war and the poverty brought on by emancipation and Reconstruction. Her entries illuminate experiences shared with thousands of other southern women.  \n        From the Back Cover   This journal is unique among the personal records left by women of the Civil War generation. This abridgment, edited by Thomas's great-granddaughter, focuses on the Civil War years and postwar period, showing how the economic hardships of the time affected Thomas and her family and illuminating experiences that Thomas shared with thousands of women.           About the Author   Virginia Ingraham Burr, a native of Atlanta, Georgia, who now lives in Salem, South Carolina, spent ten years preparing Thomas’s journal for publication. Nell Irvin Painter is professor of history at Princeton University.      ","brand":"Ella Gertrude Clanton Thomas, Virginia I.
