The Granite Farm Letters The Civil War Correspondence of Edgeworth and Sallie Bird
Edited by John Rozier Foreword by Theodore Rosengarten
Reviews
"The Birds believed in a society divided by caste—both race and class. He was devoted to wife and family, and there is great tenderness in their letters."
—New York Times
Description
Centered around a small plantation in the heart of middle Georgia's nineteenth-century cotton culture, The Granite Farm Letters send forth from the Civil War years not simply a record of clashing armies at the front or of the fraying fabric of life at home but also the correspondence of a close-knit family--the candid love and longing of husband and wife, the warm bonds of parents and children held firm through the turbulence of war.
