Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Old Plantation Days is a memoir written by Martha S. Gielow, originally published in 1899. The book is a first-hand account of Gielow's life growing up on a plantation in the American South during the mid-19th century. Gielow recounts her experiences as a young girl living on the plantation, including the daily chores she was responsible for, the relationships she had with her family and other slaves, and the customs and traditions of plantation life. The book also provides insight into the complex social and political landscape of the time, including the institution of slavery and the Civil War. Gielow's memoir is notable for its honest portrayal of life on a plantation, as well as its vivid descriptions of the natural beauty of the Southern landscape. Old Plantation Days is a valuable historical document that offers a unique perspective on a time and place in American history that is often romanticized or misunderstood. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the American South, the institution of slavery, or the experiences of women during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
