I have read many a book and this has to be at the top of my list of "must read" and I would recommend every American school to hBy Linda DavisThis book will transport you back to time when faith and character were innate. You walk with this women as she single-handedly manages rice plantations; yes two plantations; with self determination and after the civil war plantations evolve from a slave run plantations to a "land share" plantations. I have read many a book and this has to be at the top of my list of "must read" and I would recommend every American school to have a copy of this book in their libraries for it is a historical value. Picture a combination of Scarlet O'hara with her determination and Melanie Wilkes' with her kindness; {Ashley's wife} rolled up in one. Just a beautiful book for the soul. Enjoy.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. the Civil War and Southern history and culture will love this semi-diaryBy E. C. McNairAnyone interested in slavery; the Civil War and Southern history and culture will love this semi-diary. The book is actually a series of accounts written for a Northern news paper by a Southern female plantation owner. The subject is always interesting but the writing begins crudely and evolves as she learns the craft.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A South Carolina History Buff's "Must Read"By Pam DawsonI'm a newcomer to South Carolina and have fallen in love with the stately moss-draped oaks and sandy beaches. Elizabeth Allston Pringle's accounts of managing her properties following the Civil War are heartwrenching. From a reluctant work force; to foundered horses to bad weather - it's one thing after another trying to make ends meet. Loved it.
