The Journal of Julia Legrand: New Orleans, 1862-1863 (Classic Reprint)

By Julia Legrand

Excerpt from The Journal of Julia Legrand: New Orleans, 1862-1863

The period, the place, the circumstances of this diary are replete with the romance of the great war that made for the Confederate States of America the glorious name in history which is the rich inheritance of our people today. The story of New Orleans, the proud, the beautiful city, in her thraldom under Butler and Banks, is here interwoven with a family chronicle. But it is not merely a graphic recital of thrilling events. The writer, a lady of rare intellectual powers, of fine attainments, and great beauty of character, suffuses her pages with the charm of her own personality. N ow humorous, now pathetic, as she tells of the trials and mortifications to which she and her friends were subjected, she preserves always a certain elevation of thought, a dignity of soul, displaying in the stress and strain of her environment, noble traits of patience, forbear ance and charity.
