The thoughts, triumphs, travails, and, at times, despicable actions
of a leading antebellum politician A remarkably candid set of
diaries, Secret and Sacred brings to light the intimate journal
notations of James Henry Hammond, a prominent South Carolina
planter and slaveholder whose life story is as intriguing as that
of a Faulkner character. James Henry Hammond was born into poverty
but married into wealth and expanded his plantations and
slaveholdings until they were among the largest in the South. A
leading spokesman for the South, he served as a congressman, U.S.
senator, and South Carolina governor. In his private life, he
dominated his family, sexually violated his young nieces (causing a
scandal that nearly wrecked his career), and fathered children by
his slaves. All the while he kept his "secret and sacred" journals.
These diaries, which span from 1841 to 1864, reveal a man whose
fortune and intellect combined to make him an important southern
leader but whose deep character flaws kept him from the true
greatness to which he aspired. Carol Bleser gracefully explicates
Hammond's background and weaves his entries into a cohesive
collection that reads like a novel of the Old South.
