by FRANCES KEMBLE, introduction by CHARLES E. WYNES, xxiv + 160 pages, frontispiece Fanny Kemble, a twenty-nine-year-old English actress, and her husband, the aristocratic, arrogant Pierce Butler of Philadelphia, spent the winter of 1838-39 on the Georgia coast, where Butler owned three slave plantations with more than seven hundred slaves. Now the genteel, English-born Fanny found herself transported to a shocking frontier land of semitropical rain forests, bugs, snakes, shacks, cotton and rice plantations and slavery. Though Fanny's journal reflects her strong antislavery sentiments, it is probably as accurate an account as can be found of life on large plantations--one face of a many-faceted institution. isbn 0-88322-005-9 hardcover$35.00 The Beehive Foundation 208 West Harris Street Savannah, Georgia 31401 These books are published without profit as an educational service.
