In 1859, a thirteen-year-old-girl began a diary, detailing the
emotions and events of everyday life. Daily life in her small
hometown of Cleveland, Tennessee was not destined to remain quiet
and routine, however. When the Civil War began, the diary entries
provide a firsthand account of the sorrows inflicted when the Civil
War tore families apart in the border South. Myra, a staunch
Confederate, gave a vivid account of the war, how it divided her
community and left misery in its wake. Her diary became a bosom
friend to whom she could confide her pain and grief. While she
never knew the historical importance of her diary, her descendants
did, and preserved this precious legacy.
Like the famous diary of Anne Frank, Myra Inman's diary begins
with ordinary events and proceeds to tell the story of a child's
view of the horrors of war. This book offers a unique perspective
on the Civil War -- that of a child in the borderlands, where
families were torn apart by differing loyalties.
