The incomparable Civil War era diarist Mary Chestnut was married to a high ranking member of the Confederate government and therefore ideally placed to watch and record the South's headlong rush to ruin. She herself was a paradox---an abolitionist, a feminist writer ("There is no slave like a wife") and was both participant and detached observer of all the strata of her society.
