Henry, Cornelia C., 1836-1917 (Author). Clinard, Karen L. (Added Author). Russell, Richard, 1952- (Added Author).

Summary:

"Cornelia Henry's three journals, written between 1861 and 1868, provide an excellent source of information on western North Carolina prior to, during, and following the Civil War, and present us with an intimate and personal glimpse into the lives of a struggling Confederate family. Throughout her writings, Cornelia reveals her innermost thoughts and fears as she describes her daily routines, rumors and news of the war, raids by Union soldiers, occupation of Asheville by Union troops, activities of newly freed slaves, and finally, troublesome times after the war. 'Fear in North Carolina' combines Cornelia Henry's journals into a single volume, which is supplemented with additional family letters, documents, and photos. In addition, newspaper advertisements and period photos have been inserted to augment the reader's experience, and to provide historical perspective."--From publisher's description
