Old Plantation And What I Gathered There In An Autumn Month (1859)

The Old Plantation And What I Gathered There In An Autumn Month is a book written by James Hungerford and published in 1859. The book is a memoir of the author's experiences during a month-long stay at an old plantation in the American South. Hungerford describes the plantation's history, the daily lives of the enslaved people who worked there, and the customs and traditions of the Southern aristocracy. He also offers his own observations on the social and political climate of the region, including the tensions between North and South that would eventually lead to the Civil War. The book is a vivid and detailed account of life on a plantation in the mid-19th century, and provides valuable insights into the complex and often brutal world of slavery in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
