Book Synopsis The Diary of Serepta Jordan by : Serepta M. Jordan
Book excerpt: "Serepta Jordan ... kept her diary from 1857 to 1864. She is a lively writer whose insights into New Providence and Clarksville, Tennessee, in the years before and during the Civil War provide a fine-grained feel for Middle Tennessee daily life and culture. Wartime and the fall of Fort Donelson meant an early end of Confederate rule in her area, and she relates the hardships suffered by citizens cut off from what they considered their country. Not particularly given to romanticism, Jordan provides generally clear-eyed observations about the failures of the Confederate army, and her extreme hatred for upper-class people in Clarksville makes her voice unique indeed"--
