Mistress of Riversdale - The Plantation Letters of Rosalie Stier Calvert, 1795-1821 (Paperback, Revised)

Winner of the Book Prize from the Maryland Historical Association "A richer reflection of life in early 19th-century Maryland and the Washington environs cannot be found . . . These superb letters are enhanced by able editing, both in footnotes and excellent essays at the beginning and end." -Washington Post Book World "Callcott is a suberb editor; she has exhaustively researched every aspect of Calvert's life, and her introductory and concluding essays, including an account of George Calvert's relationship with a slave woman, which produced five children, contain much information of interest." -Elizabeth R. Baer, Belles Lettres "These letters document the timeless elements of domestic life-family relationships, childbirth, illness, househld chores-but they offer far more than the familiar fare of the plantation mistress."-Patricia Brady, The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography
