Eliza Lucas Pinckney

"Eliza Lucas Pinckney (1722-1793) reshaped the colonial South Carolina economy with her innovations in indigo production and became one of the wealthiest and most respected women in a world dominated by men. Born on the Caribbean island of Antigua, she spent her youth in England before settling in the American South and enriching herself through the successful management of plantations dependent on enslaved laborers. Tracing her extraordinary journey and drawing on the vast written records she left behind--including family and business letters, spiritual musings, elaborate recipes, macabre medical treatments, and astute observations about her world and herself--this engaging biography offers a rare woman's first-person perspective into the tumultuous years leading up to and through the Revolutionary War and unsettles many common assumptions regarding the place and power of women in the eighteenth century."--

Death and the American South

'Death has always held high revel in the South, where malaria, Indian wars, the brutality of slavery, national defeat and a host of gray ghosts paved the way for today's high rates of gun ownership, obesity, diabetes, and capital punishment. The authors of these excellent essays cannot exorcise these Southern haunts, but they do explore with dark beauty how Southerners have made meaning in the teeth of often meaningless (and self-inflicted) pain. This is another five-star collection from the team of Friend and Glover.' Stephen Berry, Gregory Chair in the Civil War Era, University of Georgia
