Two Diaries from Middle St. John's Berkeley, South Carolina
Originally published in 1921. Two Diaries from Middle St. John's, February to May, 1865, published in 1921, includes significant excerpts from the journals Jervey and Ravenel kept at the end of the Civil War. These excerpts were published by the St. John's Hunting Club, a local society in Berkeley County, South Carolina, with explanatory footnotes and some supplementary materials. In the diaries, each woman describes the constant threat of Union raids; the difficulties associated with finding enough food to feed their families and slaves; and the problems they experienced trying to manage slaves during war. The two women describe their preparations for the arrival of Federal soldiers, and the general tension that pervaded the area as the Union army passed through their county. Supplementing these journals is a 1917 speech by Mrs. Mary Rhodes (Waring) Henigan, who lived near Jervey and Ravenel in 1865. The publishers also include a short report from the Massachusetts 55th Regiment that describes the unit's interactions with Berkeley County plantations.
Two Diaries: February-May, 1865 (Expanded, Annotated)
With Union troops literally in their backyard, two southern women of privilege recorded in their diaries the fall of the south in the last months of the American Civil War. "How much some people have suffered." Unable to see the suffering their southern culture has wrought for more than two centuries, the women seem only aware of the loss of those whose privilege was built on the bondage of others. Essential to the owning of a human being is the inability to see them as a human being. As Union "colored" troops are among the soldiers marching through their land, the women are terrified of what they may do or what they will stir up in the slaves that remain on plantations. They write of the "impudence" of some of their remaining slaves, as if a lifetime of bondage should not have been expected to embitter them and leave them with little politeness for their masters. This edition is abridged and annotated. For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
