Inhaltsangabe:

The wife of a physician, mother of ten children, and mistress of five slaves, Tryphena Blanche Holder Fox fought the hardship and isolation of her adopted home by maintaining a lively correspondence with family and friends in Massachusetts. Her revealing letters offer a candid look at middle-class southern life and detail how Fox quickly accepted the customs, prejudices, and politics of "this strange land," even choosing to support the Confederacy while her brother fought for the Union.
