Carolina Love Letters

Carolina Love Letters

Karen Stokes
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
In this charming little volume Karen Stokes has collected beautiful and moving documents that display the interior life of Southerners of the 19th century. These letters portray deep and long-lasting love between husbands and wives and much else about the life of the time. They reflect the hearts and minds of a very admirable people of the antebellum and Confederate South. _____________________ FROM THE INTRODUCTION “In the centuries before electronic communication such as telephone and the Internet began to dominate most parts of the world, the primary way that people communicated with each other over distance was through letter writing. Nowadays, this practice is often regarded as dead or dying out, and many fewer people sit down with pen and paper to compose a message to someone else. In earlier times, however, and even through much of the twentieth century, it was a common practice, and those of us alive today are fortunate that so many of these documents survive – documents which open up a very personal window into the past and help us to understand the people and culture of an earlier age.” _____________________ KAREN STOKES of Charleston, South Carolina, has in recent times established herself as one of the most prolific and talented authors of works of both history and historical fiction, with a primary focus on South Carolina. All of her work is solidly based on genuine scholarship in the real documentary record. Among her works in history are Faith, Valor and The Civil War Letters of William Porcher DuBose; A Confederate Englishman; South Carolina Civilians in Sherman’s Path; Day’s of Augustine Thomas Smythe and the Civil War Siege of Charletson; The Immortal 600; A Legion of Sherman in South Carolina , and others. Her fiction includes Honor in the Dust; The A Story of Love and War; and A Carolina Love Story.
