Between North and South the Letters of Emily Wharton Sinkler, 1842-1865
- List Price: $29.95
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Univ of South Carolina Pr
- Publish date: 11/01/2001
Her urban background contrasted greatly with her daily duties as a rural plantation mistress, and she describes creating a world of culture in the midst of the swamps of South Carolina. She writes of fabulous lancing tournaments, exciting horse races, and vivid evenings full of games, dancing, and music. At the same time, she was pioneering her way in a rural, isolated environment, inventing alternatives for everyday necessities, and managing the resources of a plantation. She also tells of her interest in religion and African American culture and how she established a church where she taught reading to African Americans. Determined and inventive, Emily Sinkler lived very successfully in two different worlds. Her passionate account of the antebellum period re-creates a time in American history when both regions were setting a perilous course.
