Social Life in Old New Orleans: Being Recollections of my Girlhood
ISBN: 9781492154044 / Angielski / Miękka / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Far more vivid than the twilight of the days in which I dwell, there rises before my inner eye the vision, aglow in Southern sunshine, of the days that are gone, never to return, but which formed the early chapters of a life that has been lived, that can never be lived again. Many of the following stories are oft-told tales at my fireside-others were written to record phases of the patriarchal existence before the war which has so utterly passed away. They have been printed from time to time in the pages of the New Orleans Times-Democrat, the editor of which has very kindly consented to their...

Using the historic Sylvester Manor Plantation site turned archaeological dig as a case study, Hayes draws...
