Married to a high-ranking member of the Confederate government, Mary Chesnut was in an ideal place to watch and record the Civil War and the South's plunge into ruin. Her journals contain an unsurpassed amount of detail and information as the war unfolded. C. Vann Woodward provides the full and reliable account of her journals, making use of surviving parts of 4 manuscript versions. He restores significant passages from the original diary of the 1860's, which was written in the heat of the moment and revealed much that the author suppressed in the previous versions intended for publication.
C. Vann Woodward won the Pulitzer Prize in 1982 for his edited version of this title.
