A Belle of the Fifties
Virginia Clay-Clopton's 'A Belle of the Fifties' is a captivating memoir that provides readers with a firsthand account of life in the American South during the 1850s. Through vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes, Clay-Clopton gives insight into the cultural, social, and political landscape of the antebellum era, showcasing the aristocratic Belle lifestyle. Her literary style is characterized by a nostalgic tone and attention to detail, making the reader feel as if they are stepping back in time. The book not only serves as a historical document but also as a work of literature that captures the essence of a bygone era. Clay-Clopton's writing reflects the influence of Southern Gothic literature, with its focus on the complexities of Southern society and the impact of the Civil War. Her firsthand experiences as a Southern belle give her a unique perspective on the events of the time, offering a valuable historical account. I highly recommend 'A Belle of the Fifties' to readers interested in Southern history, memoirs, and the literary portrayal of the American South.

The Clays of Alabama
Of unique interest to the student of nineteenth century America is this account of the Alabama Clays, who in their private life were typical of the slaveholding aristocracy of the old South, but as lawyer-politicians played significant roles in state and national politics, in the development of the Democratic party, and in the affairs of the Confederacy. In the period from 1811 to 1915, the Clays were involved in many of the great problems confronting the South. This study of the Clay family includes accounts of the wartime legislation of the Confederate Congress and the activities of the Confederate Commission in Canada. Equally interesting to many readers will be the intimate view of social life in ante-bellum Washington and the story of the domestic struggles of a plantation family during and after the war, as revealed through the letters of Clement Claiborne Clay and his wife Virginia.
