Publisher's Synopsis
""Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation in 1838-1839"" is a memoir written by British actress and writer Francis Anne Kemble. The book chronicles her time spent living on her husband's plantation in Georgia, where she witnessed firsthand the brutal realities of slavery. Kemble's journal entries offer a vivid and unflinching account of the daily lives of enslaved people, including their mistreatment and the constant threat of violence. She also details her own struggles to reconcile her personal beliefs with the realities of life on the plantation. Originally published in 1863, the book was an important contribution to the abolitionist movement and remains a powerful document of the horrors of slavery in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
