Recollections Of A New England Bride And Of A Southern Matron

""Recollections Of A New England Bride And Of A Southern Matron"" is a memoir written by Caroline Gilman that offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of two very different women during the early 19th century. The first part of the book recounts Gilman's own experiences as a young bride in New England, detailing her courtship, marriage, and early years of motherhood. In the second part of the book, Gilman shifts her focus to a Southern matron named Mrs. Berkeley, whom she met during a trip to Virginia. Through Mrs. Berkeley's recollections, Gilman provides insight into the daily life, customs, and social norms of the South during this time period. Both sections of the book are rich with vivid descriptions of domestic life, including food, clothing, and household routines. Additionally, the book offers a unique perspective on the cultural differences between the North and South during this era, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in American history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
