Drawing from some 2,500 pages of unpublished letters, journals, and diaries, CoteT's biography of Mary Mott Alston Pringle presents a slice of a Southern plantation family's life before, during, and after the Civil War. It also offers details about the vastly different food, clothing, and experiences of the white family's 337 slaves. CotT quotes Mary Pringle extensively but also provides comment and context for what she has to say. Illustrated with scattered b&w photographs, the biography includes a painstakingly detailed index.
