Dolly Sumner Lunt begins her diary, A Woman's Wartime Journal, published in 1918, by recalling her anxiety about the approach of General Sherman's Union army on January 1, 1864. While she worries about the arrival of Sherman's troops and their habit of pillaging and burning everything in their path, she records stories of visits by local raiders posing as U.S. soldiers and the sleepless nights she has spent watching fires on the horizon. Despite Lunt's efforts to hide her valuable possessions, which include sending her mules into the woods, dividing her stores of meat among the slaves, and burying the silver, the passing Union troops raid her house and plantation and take her slaves with them. They also set fire to cotton bales in her barn, but the blaze burns out before spreading, largely sparing Lunt's property the widespread destruction suffered by neighboring plantations. In her last entries, dated December 1865, Lunt writes optimistically about the recovery of her farm, her new sharecropping system, and the first cheerful Christmas in years. A DOCSOUTH BOOK.

Excerpt from A Woman's Wartime Journal: An Account of the Passage Over a Georgia Plantation of Sherman's Army on the March to the Sea, as Recorded in the Diary of Dolly Sumner Lunt (Mrs. Thomas Burge) Though Southern rural life has nec essarily changed since the Civil War, I doubt that there is in the entire South 3. Place Where it has changed less than on the Burge Plantation, near Covington, Georgia. And I do not know in the Whole country a place that I should rather see again in springtime - the Georgia springtime, When the air is like a tonic vapor distilled from the earth, from pine trees, tulip trees, balm-of Gilead trees (or ham trees, as the negroes call them), blossoming Judas trees, Georgia crab-apple, dogwood pink and White, peach blossom, wistaria.
