This reminiscence of daily life on a Southern plantation during the
Civil War was originally published in 1888. The book is filled with
vivid details of everything from methods of making dyes and
preparing foods to race relations and the effects of the war. A
Blockaded Family is an unusual and beautifully-written primary
source of Southern life inside the blockade, told from a point of
view that is decidedly different from most post-war accounts.
