Legacy of a Southern Lady:: Anna Calhoun Clemson

By Nancy Ann Russell and Ann Ratliff Russell

Book Overview

The interest in Southern women's history has never been higher nor more exciting. And one of the most important nineteenth-century South Carolinians is Anna Maria Calhoun, daughter and frequent confidante of John Caldwell Calhoun, a significant political and intellectual figure of nineteenth-century American history. During one of his periods in Washington, D.C., Anna met and later married a Pennsylvania scientist, Thomas Green Clemson. Subsequently, Anna and Thomas traveled through much of the American east, and became co-founders of Clemson University. Due to Anna's copious correspondence, her papers have offered Anna Ratliff Russell much material to create this fascinating study in nineteenth-century history. --Jerome V.
