{"product_id":"diary-from-dixie-mary-boykin-chesnut-9781434114402","title":"Diary from Dixie","description":"Mary Chesnut kept her diary from early in 1861, just before the Civil War began, to shortly after the end of the war, in 1865. Though not a day-by-day account of the conflict, the diary gives an up-close-and-personal view of this critical period in American history. Her commentary on the conversations and events of her day reveals a keen awareness of the oppression to which women--lack or white, slave or free--were subjected during that period. While she would not consider herself a feminist, her diary reveals sensibilities and concerns that place her far ahead of her time. The wife of a Confederate general, Mary Chesnut moved in the elite circles of Southern society and had a keen interest in politics. Her diary is an important historic document and, because of her sharp wit and often irreverent attitude, a fascinating window into Southern society of the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Boykin Chesnut\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1434114406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781434114402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Waking Lion Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"Mary Boykin Chesnut","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43996238872831,"sku":"9781434114402","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5b5c0006-4eca-4813-b2c9-2b9fb8749852.jpg?v=1683340547","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/diary-from-dixie-mary-boykin-chesnut-9781434114402","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
