When the Civil War began in 1861 Lucy Rebecca Buck was the
eighteen-year-old daughter of a prosperous planter, living on her
family's plantation in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. On Christmas
Day of that year she began a diary which she would keep for the
duration of the war, during which time troops were quartered in her
home and battles were literally waged in her front yard. This
extraordinary chronicle mirrors the experience of many women torn
between loyalty to the Confederate cause and dissatisfaction with
the unrealistic ideology of white southern womanhood. In powerful,
unsentimental language, Buck's diary reveals her anger and
ambivalence about the challenges thrust upon her by the upheaval of
her self, her family, and the world as she knew it. This document
provides an extraordinary glimpse into the "shadows on the heart"
of both Lucy Buck and the American South.
